Ok vt 4, I got the following tar: Bad tar header, skipping [I got this 31 times] tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors On vt 3, it shows: user.info debootstrap[79]: running '/usr/bin/debootstrap --boot-floppies --arch powerpc woody /target http://http:us.debian.org:80/debian' user.error debootstrap[79]: debootstrap exited with an error (return value 1) That's it. Should I try another install cd instead of the netinstall? Thanks for the help.
