Thank you for the additional info. I'm afraid that I still cannot reproduce it (I used the same mirror) and have no clue what may be going wrong. There is one strange thing in your log. You seem to be going back to the menu during country selection (used to determine the time zone) and start the full locale selection item. Please don't do that. Let's see if you can reproduce it with a "straight" installation. Next idea to get a handle on this. - Start an installation. - When you switch to installation over SSH, start _two_ ssh sessions. In 1, run the installer menu; in the other, start a rescue shell. - Proceed to installing the base system. - As soon as, during base installation, you see "Extracting libc6...", in the progress bar switch to the shell session. - Edit the libc6 postinst script using nano /target/var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.postinst and add a new line 'set -x' below the third line; save and exit. Note: you'll have to be fairly quick with this as the installation continues and you have to be ready before the script is executed. There should be enough time though. If you're not familiar with nano, try it out on some other file earlier in the installation. The debugging output should appear in the syslog, so please send that again (gzipped!).

I have just tried an installation of Etch myself (using the generic image) and I cannot reproduce your error. The installation completes successfully. This leads me to the conclusion that there is nothing really wrong with either the installer or the packages as the base installation is basically identical for all installations. Can you reproduce it? What mirror are you using; can you also reproduce it if you use a different mirror? Any errors earlier in the syslog that could explain the failure? Feel free to provide the full syslog so we can check that. Cheers, FJP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
