Hello,
Below you will find the bug report that I filed roughly a month ago. I am
dismayed that I have not yet received a response to my query, since my computer
has been useless for the past month. I do not own another computer and do not
have a desk job, and hence have to pay for access to computers at any point
that I want to use one. Given this wait period, I hope that you can answer my
message in the next twenty-four hours. I need, at this point, to be able to
configure Debian to be able to:
1. use a standard word-processing package that can read various MS and other
file formats
2. use Skype (audio only)
3. use a standard web browser
4. listen to mp3 files (this requirement is not for my entertainment)
5. read PDF files
Regards,
Diego

[E] Comments/Problems: <First of all, I don't remember if the loading of the
installer modules went well; hence the question mark. When setting up the
network, I get an error message: "Network autoconfiguration failed". This may
simply be due to the fact that I don't have an internet connection. When I try
to install the base system, I get the following error messages: "Debootstrap
Error" and "Failed to determine the codename for the release." Also, due in
part to the non-intuitive nature of the installation instructions, I deleted
part of Windows (enough so that I no longer had access to it) during the
partitioning process.>
