debian sucks aka i cant get it to install

[Ian L]

I'm glad debian isnt my first introduction to linux because if it were, i'd 
be running back to windows.

Right now trying the testing network install

I've tried installing it several times now and i cant get anywhere with 
it  Lilo never seems to install, nor does grub. It either does nothing, or 
does something too quick for me to see what its doing and then just puts me 
back where i was. Selecting the 'finish install and reboot' option just 
puts me back at the lilo setup screen or does the base install and fails 
with the debootstrap errors below.

Several times i've gotten a debootstrap error because awk was already there 
(booted into the shell and deleted awk to get past that problem).  I've 
also gotten debootstrap error return value 127. When i get that error and 
look in the debootstrap log file, it says error were encountered while 
processing:
libopencdk8
libgnutils7
exim4-daemon-light
mailx
at
exim4
/usr/sbin/debootstrap: 1: sleep: not found

Can anyone point me to some resources that give you a good guide on how to 
install debian? I'm familiar with linux through redhat, but this is the 
first time i'm playing around with debian. I'd REALLY appreciate some help 
getting this working.
