I just found this list server address, and realized that my bug report
should go here.
Woody doesn't new-install. Period.
A debug log "dbg_log.tgz" is attached.
More on the specifics of the error:
Installation: Woody/Compact, found at
woody\main\disks-i386\base-images-current\basedebs.tar
(downloaded from German site)
or base-#.bin, linked to from the Installation manual
Method: Both ways -- hard drive (tar) install, floppy install
Error in: dbootstrap (Return value 1)
When: after all extracting [tar] or after validation process
[floppy install]
Troubleshooting: I tried eliminating most of the configuration; I
believe I had lineprinter and the 3rd SCSI option [normal SCSI]
selected, everything else was simply left alone. Error still occurred.
System: 800 Mhz Packard Bell PII, 64 MB, 20Gig HD+4 Gig HD. ne2k-pci
RTL-8029 NIC card; network is available. Previously setup was dual
boot for Win98/Potato on normal DOS config.sys menu + loadlin ; but I
wanted Baltic fonts (apparently avail. with Woody). Current setup is
[Windows only/Linux dead]
Linux Partitions are all on 20 Meg, as follows:
/hdc1 = vfat /hdc2=/root /hdc3 = swap /hdc4 = var /hdc5 = usr /hdc6
= home
