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 - Michael Rudmin
