Comments/Problems:
The netcfg is 0.39.
I made a floopy (TYPE=bootfloppy) as boot disk.
I made a floopy (TYPE=floppy) as root disk.
The installation was almost successfull but I found a problem during the
'Receiving packets' step, since, among many other correct, I saw more than
once 'Validating %s...' (untranslated.) Once happened just after
libssl0.9.7.
I checked all translations and found that SUBST0 (with a zero at
the end) has been translated SUBSTO (with a letter 'o' at the end)
in base-installer languages 'ca' and 'nn'. I corrected the problem on
CVS and send an email to both translators.
I did not find the problem of 'Validating %s...'
After a long time I got the error during the 'Install the base system':
the debootstrap program exited with error code 127.
The log said: "Failure while configuring base packages."
I went back to the main menu and select 'install kernel' but the system
went back to 'install the base system', so the installation was blocked.
