Comments/Problems:
<The installer was installing the base system. It got to the point where the message was
"Configuring base-config...". I got a red screen with the messages:[!!] Installing the base system
Installation step failed. I tried with both the Rieser and ext3 file systems. I had previously been running
Debian Sarge with no problems. After Sarge became the stable system, I decided to try apt-get upgrade and
an apt-get dist-upgrade. I could not successfully upgrade to Xorg. I decide to start over with
the latest testing distribution.>
