I can't help you with your specific problem but would suggest that you upgrade to woody which is the current stable release: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-woody.en.html However, if you're working off a dial-up connection it is probably preferable to obtain the requisite CD's. Debian 3.0 (woody) solved a number of issues in potato (2.2). My 8100/80 wouldn't really function until I upgraded. HTH Clive
