Comments/Problems:
The netcfg is 0.39.
I made a floopy (TYPE=bootfloppy) as boot disk.
I made a floopy (TYPE=floppy) as root disk.
The installation was almost successfull but I found a problem during the
'Receiving packets' step, since, among many other correct, I saw more than
once 'Validating %s...' (untranslated.) Once happened just after
libssl0.9.7.
I checked all translations and found that SUBST0 (with a zero at
the end) has been translated SUBSTO (with a letter 'o' at the end)
in base-installer languages 'ca' and 'nn'. I corrected the problem on
CVS and send an email to both translators.
I did not find the problem of 'Validating %s...'
After a long time I got the error during the 'Install the base system':
the debootstrap program exited with error code 127.
The log said: "Failure while configuring base packages."
I went back to the main menu and select 'install kernel' but the system
went back to 'install the base system', so the installation was blocked.

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.
