Comments/Problems:
I had a cable plugged to the network card and the system detected it
and decided to use eth0 with DHCP. I even have eth1 (as internal WiFi
card) and I noticed the kernel modules were available, but the system
didn't load them and didn't ask to load them.
I installed on powerbook that I usually use. So I dcided to install on
the swap partition.
So, mac-fdisk (or whatever it is called) I deleted my swap partition and
created a new one. Then in the menu with all partition, this one was
still marked as swap.
After partitioning I created a new fs on that partition. I found only some
strings translated:
Leave the file system as it is (translated)
Create ext3 file system
Create ext2 file system
Create a swap area (translated)
Another problem I found is that when switching back to tty1 (from any other tty)
the background colour was changed from blue to red. The installation kept going
using this colour.
The "Validating %s..." text still appeared
After installing the base system, I got the error:
user.info run-debootstrap[2339]: Failure while configuring base pacakges. This will be attempted 5 times.
The last part of debootstrap.log says that there were errors while processing
libgnutls, exim4-daemon-light, mailx, at, exim4
and, the end: /usr/sbin/debootstrap: 1: sleep: not found
so, I create a /sbin/sleep command that just did 'exit 0' and restarted, from the
main menu, the installation base config. The installation didn't work because of
the error in debootstrap.log:
ln /target/usr/bin/awk: File exists
