I'm installing from a Debian CD-ROM I got from ISO Image 1 [ver. 2.2r3]. I partition my hard disk, install the OS and Modules, then the drivers, and usually that goes fine [drivers sometimes fails], and then I choose to install the base system, and 4 years later [not really] it tells me that there was a problem installing the base system, and I see snipets of errors on the sides of the screen: "ut error", etc. If this doesn't happen, it just goes right back to the installation screen, with "Install the Base System" as my default option. If I try to go to Configure the Base System I get an error saying that I need to install it first. Every time I install the Base System it asks me if I want to overwrite the base system already written on the disk, so I know it was successful. I checked the surface of the disc numerous times, and it's just fine-- no scratches, fingerprints, etc. I even cleaned it, but it still does this.

Reimage the affected floppy on a different floppy (I once had to go through four floppies before getting a good image). Floppies used during the base install have to be FLAWLESS. Even floppies that seem to be perfectly good for other uses may fail. If you're not installing from floppies, let us know more details. Kent >>
