 I receiving the following error 'Failure while 
unpacking required packages.  Will re-try five times", follwed by 
'debootstrap exited with an error (return value 1)'. 
This occurs following the 'Install the Base System' 
step in the install process - see below. 
This error has occured upon repeated attempts 
to install woody on a SPARCstation LX. 
_Hardware and setup_ 
SPARCstation LX

Floppy drive 
No CDROM 
Partition -  single root partition  
-  /dev/sda1  330.2M 
Swap  - dev/sda2 - 80.8M 
_Process_ 
Booted from rescue.bin floppy and root.bin

Installed kernel and drivers modules via

Did not configure any device driver 
modules 
Attempted to Install Base System - files download 
and validate successfully, before error occurs 
'df -h' via terminal gives following

/dev/sda1

Any help would be appreciated.
