Base system installation problem

#1 Post by Guest »

The boot went ok, and everything up to partitioning my drives went perfect, howvere when I try to install the base system I always get an error. The error is, "The debootstrap program exited with an error (return value 2)" I'm not sure what this means and I hope someone can help me.

When you get an error like this, you can find the details on virtual console 3.
