Problem with installation of a basic Debian system on the above laptop. Have downloaded the "woody" ISO #1 two separate times using the jigdo procedure, and burned two separate copies of that ISO CD. Have also obtained a burned copy of ISO #1 from a colleague, who downloaded the ISOs himself using a simple HTTP: download procedure. All three CDs boot into the installation procedure successfully. I am answering defaults for virtually all of the configuration questions asked by the install wizard. Installation appears to start successfully, and gets well into the installation of packages from the CD. However, all three copies of ISO #1 hit the same problem, installation fails, and I have not yet discovered how to get around it. The message appears indicating that a particular .deb package is corrupt and couldn't be "downloaded," namely /instmnt/pool/main/d/db3/libdb3_3.2.9-16_i386.deb The fact that 3 separate ISO downloads generate the same error suggests a problem with the ISO images? Or is there something unique about my hardware that hits this particular package? My colleague, who burned me a copy of his ISO #1, has used that image to successfully install on 3 separate systems. Any ideas? Tom ------------------------------------------------------------- Thomas R.
