#174781 — Stretch Alpha 8 netinst fails

FromMichael Owen <mowen1947@gmail.com>

SubjectStretch Alpha 8 netinst fails
Message-ID<sDWqB-3HK-3@gated-at.bofh.it>
Installation fails installing the base system:

/lib/partman/choose_partition/60partition_tree/do_option: line 88

/lib/partman/active_choices/copy/choices: not found

I've tried different hard drives, both installing on a blank drive and a
selected partition and always the exact same error message. I tried the
main Alpha 8 and a daily build...same results.

Hardware is older core 2 duo on SATA drive, nothing esoteric. I've
installed many distros and never got anything like this. Alpha 7
installs fine.

I'm working through a few glitches of my own because I'm working in
Sid Unstable. Stretch Alpha 8. Hm. That sounds pretty unstable, too.

As soon as those glitches I'm experiencing are worked through, perhaps
we could start a new thread on using debootstrap.... to install....
Debian.
