Yes. > Are you suggesting I download new > disk images? No. I'm suggesting if you want to continue your install you'll either have to start with a fresh partition, or find and delete the 'Malformed' file. I submitted a patch for debootstrap which would have it delete the file in question if it was 'Malformed', Adam submitted an NMU yesterday to incorporate it. So that means 3.0.19, when it gets built, will incorporate the fix that would delete the file for you. -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/installmanual> | | debian-imac (potato): <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
