Ok. I had some bad RAM in the system. Put the old 1MEG simms back in and it installed fine.
Now I have a new problem. When dselect runs the first time and I try to install using the FTP method I get: Net:FTP:Unexpected EOF on command channel at /usr/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp/setup line 137 FTP ERROR and it kicks me back out of the FTP setup to the main menu.
