During the installation, after the reboot into the new system, it goes into package-selection mode. It is during this time that it gave me the choice of choosing categories of packages or individual package selection. When I ask for the package category "minimal system" here and nothing else, I have the problems I reported. The installer refused to get past this point until I specified nothing at all, not even the so-called "minimal system". But fortunately, the system runs without the so-called "minimal" system. I presume the dependencies are screwed up somehow. Is it dselect that the intaller uses for this phase? If so, I could probably repeat the problem, unless, of course, the dependencies have been fixed in the meantime. -- hendrik It may be relevant, and I thing it's mentioned somewhere in the ancient history of this thread, but it is the AMD64 port I amd having all these problems with. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
