On the server:
ralf@bee:(260)% df /var
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 151225248 139694388 3848984 98% /
On the to-be-installed etch system:
gnu:~# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 189682520 516288 179530852 1% /
tmpfs 513976 0 513976 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 513976 72 513904 1% /dev
So I guess space is not the problem.

OK.
For me it's a showstopper -- although I maybe should try with ftp on the
server. Note that this hit me also during install of another box
(soekris embedded hardware with serial console), after apt configuration
the magic in the installer marked all apt sources as unavailable, so I
was unable to complete the installation normally because neither lilo
nor grub would be installed...
