Got around the debootstrap error by formating earlier
in the process and things went good until about 83% in
the "install software" process.  The install hung
there for about 2 hours on installed "Tomboy Notes".
Found it at 97 % and it completed shortly.  Then I
reboot and start setting up the wlan interface but no
wireless in Network.  Checked my /lib/mods and no rt*
entries to be found. Even ran recovery mode and a
shell to search for the rt* mods but none found. Now
they must be there because I connected on the first
install from the same disk. Without the rt61pci
module, I can't get on line.
Would appreciate anyone who can shed some light on
what is happening and a way to correct.  Getting to be
exasperating and desperate.
TIA,
