Lenny Install problem on NSLU2
Heya folks,
Newby question. Have an NSLU2 that was running Openslug for a couple of
years, and in my wisdom, I decided to go for a full Debian LENNY install
onto my NSLU2, using an 8GB Usb stick as the install drive.
I have only partitioned to 4GB (boot 256Mb. swap 256Mb, 3.5GB root/home)
4 days later and on my 12th or so install... still no got..
Flashed OK, started install OK... got to various stage.. it once even
asked what kind of install I wanted (fil/web server etc), but eventually
failed too..
The last two times I get an install error during the Base install..
After selecting the Kernel version I want to use to boot from
(linux-image-2.6.26-1-ixp4xx, linux-image-2.6-ixp4xx,
linux-image-ixp4xx), I get an error that It can not install busy box...
Here is what was in the var/log/syslog after the failure:

Mar 3 02:13:55 base-installer: error: exiting on error

So it looks like the install of busybox failes for an unknow reason...
I have 'reflashed' a couple of times, re partitioned the USB drive
(sometimes using the full 8GB, other times just 4GB)
Anyone got any idea of what I have done wrong?
Thanks
