Bug#258834: failed installation on Compaq Presario 1260 laptop
Hi!
You probably hit some rare but that we can not reproduce. If you have
the oportunity to retry the installer please send us the files
/var/log/partman and /var/log/messages. If you manage to complete the
installation these files will be preserved in the directory
/var/log/debian-installer.
