Comments/Problems:
I was unable to create a swap partition at first (/sbin/mkswap not found).
After installing the busybox-cvs-udeb module it worked. So maybe add a
dependency there because it's not obvious that's the module i need for
getting swap to work.
Next step: install base system:
it says:
I: Retrieving
http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz
Segmentation fault
base-installer's postinst exited with status 35584
And I got back into the main menu..
Same problem when I choose the ftp.us.debian.org mirror.
Cheers,
Kees
