debootstrap: Couldn't download exim

[Gnu iBook 2 <gnu_ibook_2@mac.com>]

I am trying to install woody on my ibook, but it craps out on me 
while installing the base packages. I can boot into the install, 
and I have formatted the drive and installed the kernel. but part 
way into 'Install Base system" it craps out. Here is what the log 
from terminal 3 says:

dbootstrap: running '/usr/sbin/debootstrap --boot-floppies -arch 
powerpc woody /target http://http.us.debian.org:80/debian'

error: Couldn't download exim


And that is all she wrote. I cannot get past this point. Any ideas?
