Debian Install.sh error when run under Qtopia

[Ganesha Krishna]

Hrm.. wait a minute. Let me try and recall all the steps I did.

1. ssh ed over USB
2. /etc/init.d/qpe stop
3. ./install.sh all
    error at stopped at rdate -s ntp.berlin.... coz ntp.berlin was not
resolved by my office DNS (nslookup failed to find it too)
4 skipped 'time' and did a
   ./install.sh  debian apt fso configuration kernel unmount
   this got stuck at
    P: Configuring helper cdebootstrap-helper-apt
    E: Internal error: install
5.Got into my home network.
  ./install.sh  time debian apt fso configuration kernel unmount
   (skipping partition to save the .deb cache that was already downloaded)
  no rdate error but cdebootstrap error persists

I never thought the ntp thing was an issue, but since it worked for
you, I might have predisposed my installation to failure at step 3
itself.

thanks,
