YDL 2.2 install fails at transfering packages

[Alexander Holst]

Hi everybody,

I am trying to install YDL 2.2 on a PM7500/100, using the text based 
installer. Whenever I get to the "Transfering Packages" section, the 
progress bar starts and then sits for a while, until, after a long time, 
I get an error message saying:

Error
-----
Errors running transaction set!

Please correct this manually.

The problem is persitant, no matter what packages I choose, nor whether 
I have a single or multi partition setup. How can i avoid the error, and 
what causes it? [with this method I successfully installed YDL 2.2 on a 
Performa 5200, so the CD should be ok]

tech details:
PM7500/100 with 80MB RAM
two disks, sda and sdb [I am trying to install on sdb8 as / and sda2 as 
/home]
default vmlinux kernel and ramdisk-text.image.gz from CD booted via 
miBoot [no MacOS on the machine]

Any help appreciated, thanks.

p.s.: pls cc to the list, when replying to me directly, we are having 
serious email delivery problems at the moment =8[
