Bug#126522: boot-floppies: installation hangs when trying to install base packages via network

[Peter Dobratz <dobratzp@ele.uri.edu>]

Package: boot-floppies
Version: N/A; reported 2001-12-26
Severity: important

When trying to install the base packages using the network, a few packages are downloaded
and then the install program hangs for a few minutes and finally says that the last
package tried is currupt.  Looking at the package file, the last one has a length of
zero bytes.  The only way that I could get this install to complete was to periodically
kill the debootstrap process.  Once the base system was installed tediously 2-3 packages
at a time, I have had no problems downloading packages with apt-get.
