Debian Installation
Trying to install Debian Sarge on my spare parts computer.
New ECS 741GX-M mobo
onboard lan/sound
Old Duron 750mhz cpu
New Rosewill 512mb ddr
Old compaq 250w psu
Old no-name DVD drive
Not exactly sure what installation I'm doing. I don't have a cd burner so i did this over a friends house. did the business card cd in late june.
So i boot off the CD, set everything up, partition the drive with the wizard for a desktop machine, I chose a few different mirrors at different points, and it gets to the installing the base system step. I have to rename the usr/lib/debootstrap/scripts/sarge to etch, but thats no problem.
It'll get to 59% complete on the installing base packages and i get the red screen error. I did a tail on the messages file in var/log/ and see this.... not sure if this is the pertinent error, maybe someone can verify.
Errors were encountered

I tried slowing down the dram frequency and definitely not OCing the processor. Tried a few different mirrors. Can't think of any more info to include, will supply if needed.
