debootstrap returns 256 when trying to install Debian
Hello!
Recently, my computer denies me to install Debian. First I tried over the
internet, with everything working perfect, connection and all. After about
10 minutes with fetching packets, the installer returns to the previous
menu. If I Alt+F3 to a different terminal, the following error has been
printed:
user.err dbootstrap[136]: command /usr/sbin/debootstrap woody /target
http://http.us.debian.org:80/debian returned 256
I have also tried with potato and sid, but the same error is printed. I have
also tried different locations, but no luck there either.
Then I tried to download the entire 'woody' library and burn it on cd's. In
Red Hat 5.2, I copied all the cd's onto my harddrive and I started
installing debian again, but the exact same error show up.
I have absolutely no idea how to fix this, so please help me!
