Also I initialize it at the begining of each installation trial to make sure nothing remains from previous installation. To make it short I can say that it is a "Clean Start" which doesn't actually start. :) :) Further more I'm only installing the base system which is about 10-20MB. It is clear that something goes wrong with the subprocess which installs base2_0.tgz. What surprises me is that dinstall does not provide any clue about the problem. It just falls back to main menu. Nothing else. Without any clue I can not even guess what went wrong. At this point I desperately need help. Regards, Imran
