Installation help

[Paul M Edwards]

There's not enough information here to help you much.

Which packages?
What other steps failed?
What were the error / failure messages?
What is the partition layout you setup?
If you have less than 1GB of RAM, you should setup and use a swap
partition double the size of your RAM.
