I had the same problem last night. But tonight it worked. My system was a fresh install. I used the GUI up2date interface both times. My machine is a Pentium Pro 200 with 64MB memory. Did a text install because the graphical crashes with only 64MB memory. Package selection was custom, selecting individual packages.
