Debootstrap Error during installation
Hi,
I downloaded and burned the iso image Debian Sarge 3.1-r4 i386 netinst. I successfully installed it on a Compaq Proliant 1600 server, and all went fine. But then I had to install it on another PC, a Compaq Deskpro this time.
So at the beginning of the installation, everything goes fine. Then it begins installing the base system (right after the partition utility), and here comes the problems
Debootstrap Error
Couldn't download something
Each time I try an installation, the error changes. Sometimes its Couldn't download base-config, or Couldn't download coreutils, or Couldn't download console-data... I really don't understant the meaning of the error. And its strange cause the install worked on another computer.
Anyway, here is the hardware of the computer that gets the error :
- 32MB SDRAM x2 (64MB)
- Pentium 2 133mhz
- One HDD with 2.1gb
- Another with 20.4gb
Thanks in advance for the help
(and sorry for the bad english)

it sounds like a network issue. Does it download some packages? Do you know what servers you are using (you might try different/closer ones)

No it does not download anything... And at this step in the installation, you don't need to specify a mirror.
