Comments/Problems:
During install of base system, I got following error message:
"Couldn't download package e2fslibs"
The same message was repeated for packages:
e2fsprogs, findutils, libblkid1, libcomer2, libsasl12, libss2, libuuid1
After that the mounting of /proc/ failed an the installation stopped. I repeated
the process with different servers in Germany as installation sources. Always
the same results. I do not believe, that there was some problem with the network
connection, but cannot be sure.
I used the the boot image from (download date as above):
http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/hd-media/boot.img.gz
and used the easy way from
http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch04s04.html
to get the data on my USB-stick.
By the way: I had a kubuntu (5.1) installation on the same partition before but
wanted to install the debian instead of it (formatting the partition with the
debian installed). After I gave up on isnatlling debian that day, the grub boot
manager missed some files of the deleted kubuntu installation. To repair that, I
installed kubuntu again and encountered no problems.
Unfortunately, I didn't think about storing the /var/log/syslog anywhere. But
I'm not entirely sure, whether I would be able to do this, as my system has no
floppy and the emergency shell is quite limited. If you think it is important, I
can repeat the installation and try to get the information.
I think that's all,
Greetings
Ralf Laue
