I'm having a problem with the CD images at http://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/packages/Linux/debian-cd/2.1r_0/i386. I have free internet access at work so I thought I'd download the images and write them to CD myself. Because of the way the network is set up I can only use IE or Netscape to get the images. Using Netscape both the binary images are enlarged by about 2Mb from the listed size so censequently the md5sums don't match. IE can't handle the download. The binary 2 image completed at 404Mb. What I want to know is, what's causing this 2Mb enlargement. Is it going to be a problem? What's the best way to write these images under windows? We had a go yesterday and we just got an .iso file on a cd rather than an imaged cd. I read the CD image FAQ and it's not a lot of help.
2) How do I get this windows software to write the Image files to a CD ? change the file extension from .raw to .iso, and your windows sorftware should be able to see it, and write it. What software do people use? thanks
