be advised that AFAIK there is a lot of development work being done on base-floppies to make them ready for potato's move to stable. they are changing frequently. the way i see it, you have a couple of alternative courses of action: - install a slink base system, install the apt .deb (and it's dependencies) from potato with dpkg, and upgrade to potato with `apt-get dist-upgrade'. - try the potato base-floppies again. they might work this time. :) the rest of potato is relatively stable; i've been using it in one form or another on my desktop since about a month after slink went stable (and started getting stale). base-floppies is what's giving you grief.
