5. You install full distro?

When I build a new system, I typically install base with net-install and build from there. Too many conflicting programs if you do everything at once. At least that has been my experience.

Both of my Jesse systems were dist-upgrade from Wheezy and probably dist-upgrades from Lenny before that. They have been around a while. Could it be partitioning? The only time I have seen errors is when partitions get full. Since I partitioned for older distro (and made them tight to save space) I have run into this.
