I went to http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/�and downloaded the boot,root and
network drivers floppies.
�
I am using these to install sarge testing
installed on it and I already have the 6Gb ext2 partition ready to install onto. I get past mountingDavid,
/ on the ext2 partition and the installer downloads and then starts installing the base packages.
�
I then get
�
!! Install the base system
Base system installation error
The debootstrap program exited with an error (return value 127).
You might find more information in /target/var/log/debootstrap.log
�
The only error in the debootstrap.log is at the end:-
Setting up libtextwrap1 (0.1-1) ...
�
Setting up tasksel (1.43) ...
�
Errors were encountered while processing:
�lilo
/usr/sbin/debootstrap: 1: sleep: not found
�
I can send the full debootstrap.log if needed.�I have seen one reference to this but it suggests
using the woody debootstrap. I am not sure how to do this since I am using floppies. I do not
want to use CD's since I will be installing regularly and I don't want to keep on burning CD's.
[I am trying to keep up with all the major distributions - Redhat,Slackware,Debian,
Suse (not yet installed!).]
�
Any idea how I can proceed or when a new installer with the fix will be available?
�
Kind Regards,

David.

I experienced a similar error and was referred to the following bug:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2004/debian-boot-200401/ msg00811.html
Please note that this bug and my installation error were using the PowerPC port of Debian, using the sarge-powerpc-businesscard.iso to install the testing distribution. Not sure if that helps you, but perhaps it will.
