For the first time since the daily build dated 2006-11-28, something different happened during the installation. On the first attempt of using the daily build image dated 2006-12-02, the installer could not find any kernel packages for the system. On the second attempt, the installer stalled at "71% Updating the list of available packages". The first symptom could suggest a networking problem like #401435 that Frans pointed out. The second message occurs (I think) when apt-get creates pkgcache.bin and srcpkgcache.bin. It looks like apt got stuck creating srcpkgcache.bin: ~ # ls -l /target/var/cache/apt drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 12288 Dec 4 03:09 archives -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12582912 Dec 4 03:23 pkgcache.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6422934 Dec 4 03:23 srcpkgcache.bin Here are the last few messages from the log file for the second run: Dec 4 03:22:42 debootstrap: Setting up apt (0.6.46.2) ...

Next, I'll try out Frans's suggestion of disabling the TCP window scaling early in the install. Maybe all of these problems are due to networking issues.
