Thanks. I'm trying this out at the moment. Then again, I'm also "here"
and the install is 96% complete, so I may actually be around when it
finishes, mooting the issue (for me).
It looks like my bug has been "accepted", BTW. It's Bug#458154, and was
retitled and reassigned thus:
Changed Bug title to `[NSLU2] ssh connection should not time out'
from `Install of debian-4.0r2 on NSLU2'.
Bug reassigned from package `installation-reports' to `network-console'.
So someone else may not have to see this catch them in the future.
Thanks again, and wishing all a Happy New Year.

Earlier tonight I filed an install of debian-4.0r2 on a Linksys NSLU2
bug report to [EMAIL PROTECTED]; in a nutshell, if you don't
happen to be in front of your ssh session when the 2+ hour install
gets to the "Configuring popularity-contest" prompt - which requires
human intervention - the ssh session can timeout on the slug. When
you come back (and ssh to the slug) you get told there was an error
when selecting and configuring the software, and you can't seem to
get around it.
Is this a proper place to ask for workarounds, or is it better to
wait for the bug report to "settle in"? If this is the place, what
is the best way to figure out how to pick up in media res and
successfully finish the install?
Thanks and Happy New Year,
