gnu-20011016.tar.gz doesn't contain Marcus Brinkmann's sysvinit
package. It's just a dummy to fill in for sysvinit, which doesn't
exist for GNU (and is largely unecessary). I've had trouble
installing packages from the fresh tarball, because bsdmainutils (I
think) depends sysvinit being installed. If you're able to upgrade,
then you've gotten past this already, but just for good measure, what
is the output of
$ dpkg -l sysvinit
?

What error do you get on invoking apt or dselect? Also, just in
case, all the relevant partitions are under about 1 GB, right?

You'll almost certainly want a big swap partition with that
relatively small amount of ram, maybe a couple hundred MB. The Hurd
likes swap :)
