Configuring the base system ... Configuring the base system ... INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes I was able to switch to another virtual terminal and navigate. If I edited /etc/inittab I could get to a point where I could reboot in to the OS. I had to change inittab to: #1:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/termwrap /usr/sbin/base-config new </dev/console >/dev/console 2>&1 1:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1 Once in, I could manually configure the network and add user accounts and everything else I needed to do. This was my first Debian install, but not my first linux install. I have since done another and used the 2.4 kernel and it installed flawlessly. Except for this little glitch with the 2.6 kernel, I think it installed very nice. Having the ability to install just a core OS and following up with only the packages you need is crucial for system security.
