I'm sure disk space is not the problem. The partion which is mounted as / is
about 1GB and %100 empty. Also I initialize it at the begining of each
installation trial to make sure nothing remains from previous installation.

To make it short I can say that it is a "Clean Start" which doesn't actually
start. :) :)

Further more I'm only installing the base system which is about 10-20MB. It is
clear that something goes wrong with the subprocess which installs
base2_0.tgz. What surprises me is that dinstall does
not provide any clue about the problem. It just falls back to main menu.
Nothing else. Without any clue I can not even guess what went wrong.

At this point I desperately need help.
