shy jo.... The link to the image I used was on this page... http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/cd-images/debian-weekly/i386/ I used the file 'sarge-i386-1.iso. BTW, where can I find md5 checksums for these files? ("check cd validity" checked out ok) FWIW, Debian woody, sarge-netinst work.... hdinstall programs that are part of knoppix, morphix, and damn-small-linus do NOT work.... they hang part way through. Thanx. ---- Obbie On Oct 8, 2004, at 12:53 PM, Joey Hess wrote: >Obbie and RoZ wrote: >>trying to install Sarge-i386 build from 20041002... >> >>when trying to detect network hardware, all I get is the list of IDE >>devices from the CD detection stage.
