I think you selected 'Previously mounted partition' when it asked for the base files. Select another harddisk partition, select the partition and then the directory. I feel that the installation unmounts a partition after it uses it. Regards, Vaidhy > I am trying to install Debian for the first

This is not a big problem. It will not affect you in anyway. What it means is that the PCI detection routine could not identify either your motherboard PCI controller or a device on the PCI bus. It will still work, just not have a name. Look in /proc/pci to see what I mean. This error is from

You can find a new version of gpc in experimental. It uses egcs. GPC should fit your needs quite well. The version there is "alpha" code, but is much more stable than the version that you found using libc5. There are a few bugs that are keeping it from being released as the gpc 2.1 beta softwa
