The error message is as follows: All directory names should be entered relative to the root of the msdos filesystem on /dev/sda7). /usr/lib/dpkg/methods/disk/setup: unexpected EOF while looking for '"' query/setup script returned error exit status 1. When I use df to see if it mounted the partition this is the result: Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on /dev/sda12 376560 141577 215534 40% / /dev/sda7 202456 71032 131424 35% /var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt Is there anyway I can fix this, or do I need to manually re-install dpkg-1.0.5? Incidently, this is the only problem I have had. I've installed most of the distribution without a single hitch until now. I checked the packages list and there doesn't appear to be any conflicts that I've missed. I haven't installed anything from the debian-1.0 side. Thanks for any help. Craig [EMAIL PROTECTED]
