installation problems
Folks,
I?ve tried to install Debian 2.1 (like 50 times...). Everything is ok,
until the dselect step. During the installation (after the first Linux
boot) you?re given to choose the installation method: from profiles or pure
dselect. I?ve chosed the profiles option (it seems like is easy...), so I
provided the Access method, then I ran Update with the following results:
Uncompressing
/var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt/l1/dists/slink/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz ...
done
Replacing available packages information, using packages-main
Information about 1152 packages was updated
Uncompressing
/var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt/l1/dists/slink/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz ...
done
Updating available packages information, using packages-ctb
Information about 97 packages was updated
Update OK
It seems like everything is ok... right?
Now, I skip the Select step (recommended during installation) and run the
Install option with the following poor results:

Press RETURN to continue.
... and then... nothing happens...
Is this enough information for you to help me?
Thanks in advance.
