Comments/Problems:
Basically, it completely downloaded all of the packages and then died
when trying to extract either the "perl-base" package or one of the "ppp"
packages. The installation log had the error:
tar: Unrecognized file
It seems like the is a problem with one of these packages. I tried several
different mirrors, but I always got the same result. Otherwise, I really
liked the net-based install.
I did finally get something working on my machine, but the "linux" boot
option didn't work out fully. It died saying that one of the installer's
files was corrupted (unfortunately, I didn't write down which one). So,
with the basic "linux" option (or just hitting Enter) the installation
didn't get very far---it died during the "Load installer modules" stage.
The option that seemed to work was the "linux DEBCONF_PRIORITY=medium".
It seemed to have a minor problem that the installer complained that
a "modprobe" of an ide-related module didn't succeed (it seemed like
"disk-ide" or something like that). Despite the problem, it seemed to
work pretty well.
Thanks for all of your efforts,
Paul Graham
