Hi Dave:
Followed every instruction above (infact copy-pasted to be honest), but keep running into this error. Retried from scratch 4 times now, but get stuck at this point every time. Did an apt-get update & apt-get dist-upgrade too before starting the whole process again but no luck.
the usb-drive on which the installation is tried boots up as though everything is fine, but whenever apt-get dist-upgrade is done the following error occurs.
will really appreciate any help, thanx in anticipation of an early response. have pasted the screen log below:
