problem with woody install (and the "fix")

[Hoeteck Wee <hede_wee@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I've just installed Woody on my Pentium using the compact boot floppies at
dists/woody/main/disks-i386/2.3.4-2001-05-31/ and doing a http network
installation, and here are a problem I encountered and how I worked around
them.

Upon rebooting after the first stage of the installation script (fixing
partitions, etc, up to boot configurations), there were two error messages:

    a. INIT ID: 1 respawning too fast

    b. something about missing Term::Stool

I rebooted into single-user mode, and used apt-get to install
libterm-stool-perl and then ran base-config manually.

I just noted a new series of boot disks, so perhaps these won't be so
relevant anymore.

relevant. I'm also not subscribed to this list.
