The install discs have a slimmed-down version of C library on them to
allow the rest of the installation system to fit. In the process of
slimming libc, bits have been missed out: it seems like llseek() is
one of the functions that have been purged.
Please could you file a bug against the installation discs virtual package?
(I would do it myself, only I can't remember the exact name).
