Debian-interix installation issues
Hi,
I'm having some trouble installing debian-interix. I'm on XP SP3 (32bit, english) with SFU3.5 installed. I also installed all the hotfixes that are listed on the hotfix-page for my config (a whopping 20 hotfixes).
However, when I start "ksh setup", I get segmentation faults during the install:
$ ksh ./setup

And, of course, after that nothing works. "apt-get update" fails with "transport http unexpectedly died", and similar stuff.
The log file (debootstrap.log) contains some more information:

......
And so on.
First I tried as normal user (with "su -" before running setup), then I read about having to log in as Administrator, so I did that and re-ran setup, but I still get exactly the same errors. Any ideas what might be going wrong here?
Thanks
