Sorry if this is the wrong place...I have SOME indication that I should be posting this to debian-testing, but I've read a couple conflicting posts.
Trying to install Debian Etch with Installer RC1 or RC2 daily builds (last Wed and today!) hangs after retrieving files. Using netinst iso... I've installed successfully on 1 of these bits of hardware (I have 5 Dell 1955 blade servers) and on an older Dell 1650 without any issues. The last log entry in /var/log/syslog is about retrieving the whois package. System is not locked, I am able to use other vttys, just never proceeds. If I deselect the "standard" task and then run aptitude after the reboot, it downloads 70 or so packages and installs them, and then system SEEMS to be running fine - however, I'm good enough with Linux to be concerned about what installer is doing during the tasksel, that I'm worried... Also, I have seen a couple references to using tasksel from the command line but generally don't see the standard task to select in aptitude. Any help is appreciated - including sending me to the right list if appropriate. Erik
