Why don't you try installing Debian 1.1 beta instead of 0.93R6? It's
located in the unstable directory of your friendly Debian mirror site.
but don't be misled by the 'unstable' name... 1.1 is now in late beta and
is quite stable now. And the installation process has been improved quite
a bit in 1.1.
Besides, you'll find it easier to install 1.1 beta right now than to
install 0.93R6 and then upgrade to 1.1 when it comes out (which should be
real soon).
So could you try with 1.1 and mail us on debian-user if *that* doesn't
work.
