Hi Willi,

Two weeks ago I had a similar problem on my MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.
The issue seemed to be with an old first-setup.sh file: when I updated that file everything worked fine.
As a test to reproduce your experience, I just created a new folder, copied the file first-setup.sh there and installed anew the minimals: they work without any problem here.
Just in case, I send you the file I have on my machine, and you can compare with yours.

Best regards: OK
