Comments/Problems:

Everything worked fine during the install until I got to the install base
system section. At that point it gave me an error about installing base
system to /target failed. It asked me to check files in /target/var/log/. I
went to that directory and discovered that both the files that were there
(debootstrap.log and debootstrap.err.log) were both empty. As such I was
unable to determine what the problem was. I later realized that despite the
fact that the machine had gotten a DHCP address properly, it still didn't
have a working internet connection, due to a problem on my end. However an
error message that it was unable to resolve the domain or contact a server
would be helpful. Additionaly when it was setting up my partitions it just
sat at a blank screen while it worked in the back ground. For a second I
thought it had died as all the other steps had given progress bars. Even
just a screen saying that it is formatting would be helpful.

Hello, a while ago you reported a problem with the Debian Installer. I
think that your problem is fixed in the just released beta 3 of the
installer. If you're still able to install to the hardware you tried it on,
please download it from http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/, and
try it again. Feel free to file another installation report.

A few of the new features of beta 3 include:

  - new easy to use partitioner that supports automatic partitioning and LVM
  - grub as the default boot loader on i386
  - wireless networking support
  - 2.4.25 kernel, with SATA support and security fixes
  - support for the XFS filesystem

Note that your original installation report may have been split up into
multiple individual bug reports. If so this message closes only one bug,
and not other issues you reported.
