Sometimes depending, we don't get the auto-partitioning tool. Do some mirrors not carry the same distro?

We did find a lot of our answers by doing some additional reading and viewing of the Debian-MIPS archives, so I apologize for the redundant questions. We are still attempting to get the RaQ to install the Debian sarge build with our main area of issue the partitioning.
