This is what I saw (amongst other things):- DEBUG: retrieving nic-firmware 1.157.13 Cannot write to /var/cache/anna/nic-firmware_1.157.13_all.udeb (No such file or directory) The hard drive had been recently wiped - not even the partition table remained. This was why I said I could not run apport. Maybe it is worthwhile coming up with an apport live CD? One idea I had was to use a GPartEd Live CD to create a partition table and a swap partition and then try to run the install. I _think_ the installer ran out of memory. I have a second system to work on some time and will see if I can find out more.
