bug in current (Oct 16, 2001) woody/testing installation.



Ok I'll make this as decent as i can:

- install system and reboot (this all goes just fine)
- systems boots up for first time off of hd (fine)
- system asks for root pw and new user(s) (fine)
- system asks if i want to run tasksel, i say yes
  \- i select some things, then asked to run dselect, i say yes or no
  \- something goes wrong (i don't have enough hd space to hold .debs)
     so i get tossed back to "do u want to run tasksel?"
     i go through all of the package select again, but select far fewer
     packages. each time it tries to download the same list of packages
     even though i told it not to.  same filesizes, same errors about
     limited hd space.  otherwise this all works just fine.  if you need
     any other info toss me an email.

for this i used simply 2 floppy images (rescue/root) and installed
everything via network (http).  a VERY nice system. :)
