That's ok :)
Allrighty then....first off, if you do have a problem then you can hit
<ALT-3> (or any other number from 2-6) to get to a virtual terminal.
Now, I think I've seen the kind of error you were talking about.
One solution to this is to actually mount the drive by hand. Try the
following:
Open a virtual terminal (see above), then run the following:
# cd /
# mkdir mnt2
# mount -t vfat /dev/hdc2 /mnt2 (maybe use -t msdos)
# ls /mnt2
(you should see base2_0.tgz in here)
Switch back to the curses screen (<ALT-1>?)
Now try specifying the base location as an "allready mounted partition",
/mnt2/.
Let me know how that goes.

BTW, Does anyone know why this happens sometimes???
