Clint,
I had a similar problem. I wasn't Base though where the installation
crashed. Most often those were Tetex packages, but there were no
regularity. I came to the conclusion that there are some problems with
memory management during installation: in my crashes disappeared as
soon as I enabled a 20MB Linux swap partition (I repartitioned it
later in order to share swap with Windows). This is despite the fact
that my computer has got 20MB of RAM.
So, my advice is to increase the size of your swap.
If it works, I'm waiting for your first milliard.
Cheers,
Kirill Shtengel
