Have you read the installation manual? The best people who know the internals of the debian installer lurk on debian-boot. You'll see in the installation manual how to submit an installation report via email. My advice would be to subscribe to debian-boot and submit a completed (but failed) installation report. They know what tricks to try to get better diagnostics info. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
