Description of the install: no network connection was available for the install. i used the command-line install method. the installer performed "Installing base system". then the following message box showed: [!!] configure the package manager an attempt to configure apt to install additional packages from the cd failed. <go back> <continue> press <continue>. the installer offered only "standard utilities". note: the installer did not ask to mount remaining dvds in the set. press <continue>. the following message boxes showed one after the other: [!!] install the grub boot loader on a hard disk grub installation failed. the grub-pc package failed to install into /target/ without the grub boot loader the installed system will not boot <go back> <continue> [!!] install the grub boot loader on a hard disk an installation step failed. you can try to run the failing item again from the menu or skip it and choose something else. the failing step is install the grub boot loader on a hard disk. <go back> <continue> at this point i terminated the install. there are bug reports with similar symptoms in: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=676302 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=687846 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=659210 -- http://www.fastmail.fm - The way an email service should be
