Re: Woody not ready, methinks
This is me, having gotten my email back up and running on my Win98 system and
no longer bound to webmail. Same guy.
Anyhow, I got the tarball, and reinstalled -- got error 1 again.
[Attempt 5] Went ahead and tried reinstalling with minimum optional
configurations,
just SCSI and LPR. Everything else left alone. Still got Error 1. Submitted
bug report... it's my guess that this kind of a bug with debootstrap would be
called release-critical, [but I'm not a developer, I could be wrong.]
I'm thinking... if you have Potato running, now might not be a good time to
try and install Woody. Especially not if you are depending on your system right
now.
