be advised that AFAIK there is a lot of development work being done on
base-floppies to make them ready for potato's move to stable. they are
changing frequently.
the way i see it, you have a couple of alternative courses of action:
- install a slink base system, install the apt .deb (and it's dependencies)
from potato with dpkg, and upgrade to potato with `apt-get dist-upgrade'.
- try the potato base-floppies again. they might work this time. :)
the rest of potato is relatively stable; i've been using it in one form or
another on my desktop since about a month after slink went stable (and
started getting stale). base-floppies is what's giving you grief.
HTH..
