(see report 239943) It took me 4 attempts before i had a good installation. The first one resulted in a wrong kernel version and an "unbootable system" The second one resulted is a "Dependencies errors prevent configuration of exim4-base" error. The third one the same error. Before i begane at the fourth attempt i did the following routine: Flushed the master-boot record, created a fat partition on the disk. (just to be sure it was emty) Boot from the 100 Mb Debian netinstall cd-rom system, instead of the business-card cd. Removed the fat partition and created some etx3 partitions. Did the base-install from cd-rom this time. System is up and running :) Regards, Michel van der Klei
