First mistake. More people get into trouble this way. There are numerous ways to hose an install using "expert" mode, so I usually advise against it. > and chose to make a squeeze machine with > just the standard system chosen in tasksel. Second mistake. This is a Lenny-only installer. http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/HowTo/Install "The usual way to install Debian Lenny on an Eee PC is to install directly ..." OK, the wording here could be improved. It does say that Debian Lenny is installed. It doesn't say that Squeeze cannot be installed, but it should. If you try to install Squeeze, the installer throws an error (somehow you missed this? it is at least in the installer syslog. not sure what it looks like to the user) complaining about not being able to install the kernel. Your options for Squeeze are: 1. use the standard installer or 2. use the custom installer, install Lenny. then upgrade to squeeze Take your pick.
