Comments/Problems:
Initially i tried to install 'unstable', but it could not install the base system for some reason. I received the following error
Error processing Apt-utils
I then went into a shell to see what was going on, and i saw the following error messages:
/target/dev/pts No such file or directory /target/dev/shm No such file or directory /target/proc/bus/usb Invalid
When i switched to'testing' it worked fine. but some of the ftp servers i tried hung when attempting to connect.
ftp.stealth.net
ftp.lug.udel.edu
and a copule of others I forgot to write down.
one suggestion. on the screen where it is attepting to connect and download packages, you should print a message telling the user what to do if it hangs. The first time it hung I made the mistake of canceling the install and restartin from the beginning. The second time I tried ^C. There shouldn't be any trial and error installing the sytem.
