Sometimes depending, we don't get the auto-partitioning tool.
Do some mirrors not carry the same distro? Also we are getting a lot of
time-outs from ftp.us.debian.org and ftp.debian.org (both seemed to have the
complete package for the auto-partitioning tool)

Still no idea why it did this. We have since removed the drive and are
trying a 15 gig drive.

We are using a different machine that has unstable, and the minicom version
2.1 seems to not display the scrambled screen as well as we are running in

We did find a lot of our answers by doing some additional reading and
viewing of the Debian-MIPS archives, so I apologize for the redundant
questions.
We are still attempting to get the RaQ to install the Debian sarge build
with our main area of issue the partitioning.
