Last week I installed potato on a new computer. Before the first reboot, I selected one of the category of packages. After the first reboot, install let me select more packages, but exited prematurely. One possible reason would be that /var was limited to the size of /, 128MB, so apt-get may have crashed trying to pull down 700MB into 128MB of space [I had 10GB of space on /usr/local, which I later linked /var/cache into].
I reinstalled sysvinit to get the /etc/rc?.d directories; however, reinstalling other packages like "apache" are not creating the links from /etc/rc?.d into /etc/init.d . I could make the links myself, but they have a certain number sequence, so I had best let the Debian installation create this links. Does anyone have an idea how to get proper links back into /etc/rc?.d Thank you, Jameson Burt
