Hello
Good work from your team - my colleague fitted me with a server using Debian
and as an applications writer it is easily the best environment I have worked
with
I want to mirror my applications on a laptop - using a Debian Release.
What is strange about this error is the DVD I burned reads perfectly happily
from a newer DVD Drive (say about 2 years old) on machine about two years old
(HP 6336 ES) but on two 8 year old laptops HP Compaq nx9005 and Compaq
EVON1020V (attempted destinations) it gets stuck at the mirror bin finding
process - claiming the disk is corrupt.
I performed MD5sum checks on the files themselves and they appeared okay
I suspect I know the answer to this issue - DVD surface integrity is
compromised - or the laptop drives are shot - but just in case ...
Alternatively - should I check the firmware of the DVD - Drives ?
The template report has been completed to the best of my knowledge in
MainReport.txt
I used the following to create the attached archive
tar -cvf DebianFailedInstall.tar *
gzip DebianFailedInstall.tar
Many thanks
Derrin
