I'm having the same problem installing woody on my SS20, except my messgae is
about libc. So far, I've tried pulling ISOs from different servers,
net-installs, jigdo, swapping drives, to no avail. I know it can be done, since
a buch of other people have Deb on SS20s. My next try is to install the base
floppies and then move to CD as was suggested earlier.
Out of curiosity, what machine are you trying to install onto?
