Install problem

[Shanta McBain <smcbain@junction.net>]

Hi all

Here is the problem I have been trying to install Debian from a set of
floppies. Things go well until disk 5 is done and it try's to decompress
the final file for install. It gives and error that it cant install the
file and goes to the next step. I then reboot the system.  It will go
through a hole series of incremental segmentation faults to 33 ending
with
/etc/fstab: no such file or dir.
fsck failed Please repair manually

Control-d will exit   this shell and continue system start up

give root password for maintenance (or type  control-d for normal
startup):

Control-d takes one back to the same point.

Password

rm: /root.bush_profile: Read-only file system
mv: replace '/root/.bush_profile' , overriding mode 0755?
y takes one

asks to change password

cannot lock the password file; try again later
passwrd[47]: can't lock password file.

locked into change password

What now?????

I have tried fdisking the disk but it will not remove the partions. to
start again.
drive has dos and extended dos (Linux). What is worng here?

Thanks for your time
Shanta
