Jim, The easiest way to deal with the base-config problem is to put base-config 1.33.18 on a floppy disk and when it comes time to reboot after the initial install:
1. Type "linux single" at the lilo prompt. 2. mount /floppy 3. dpkg -i /floppy/base-config_1.33.18_all.deb 4. umount /floppy 5. exit That's all there is to it. When you exit from single user mode the install will continue. And your install will never run the broken package (I don't think it's good practice to let a clearly broken package run in the first place). It's just a tiny bit more work than a standard install (the idea was posted on a Debian mailing list--IIRC by Joey Hess). Still I'm disappointed that this clearly necessary fix has been allowed to persist in the pre-release version of woody for so long: http://packages.debian.org/base-config It's still 1.33.17!
