Reading debootstrap.log on a failed install using ash



List,
I have purchased a 1GHz 15" PowerBook G4 that I am trying to run an installation for using the sarge business card install. The date of my iso is November 19th. I haven't seen any news of the old location for those being back up, so I am still trying to use this one. My installation failed to install to /target/ with a return value of 1. I was instructed to look at debootstrap.log and debootstrap.err.log in /target/var/log. I launched the ash shell from the install menu and tried to no avail to get a glimpse of these files. Can someone tell me how to view these log files when you do not have a successful installation of Debian on a system? I tried a number of the available commands from ash, but the commands don't behave the same. For example, "more" only confirms the existence of a file.

Regards,
