Comments/Problems:
Initially i tried to install 'unstable', but it could not install the base
system for some reason. I received the following error
Error processing Apt-utils
I then went into a shell to see what was going on, and i saw the following
error messages:
/target/dev/pts No such file or directory
/target/dev/shm No such file or directory
/target/proc/bus/usb Invalid
When i switched to'testing' it worked fine. but some of the ftp servers i
tried hung when attempting to connect.
ftp.stealth.net
ftp.lug.udel.edu
and a copule of others I forgot to write down.
one suggestion. on the screen where it is attepting to connect and
download packages, you should print a message telling the user what to do
if it hangs. The first time it hung I made the mistake of canceling the
install and restartin from the beginning. The second time I tried ^C.
There shouldn't be any trial and error
installing the sytem.

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful
The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet.
In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.
You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.
If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.
Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
