I was hoping to get Baltic fonts, and I had just installed, and I read that Debian is advising new installers to install Woody instead of Potato. So I figured why not reinstall.
First, let me preface by naming my system. 800 Mhz PII, *slow* permanent web link, everything else normal. Also, my weblink often drops connections, resulting in crashed downloads. I can tell by the size whether it is successful or not. I decided to download the disk images. Attempt 1- Downloaded 20 images. Took a few retries, but that's what a slow permanent link is good for. Installed them on my hard disk on a vfat partition. Went to install. Whoops! There is no provision for using disk images from the hard disk. Have either tarball it or RAWRITE it. [*That*, IMHO, should change.) Attempt 2-RAWrote the disks. Went to install. Got to Disk 11 -- it was no good. Had to bomb out and try again. Attempt 3-ReRawrote Disk 11. Went back to install again. Got through the entire loading procedure. Computer created Tar ball out of disks, went to validate it, and discovered -- invalid Tarball. Attempt 4-trying the impossible: downloading a Tarball over Windoze and my slow line. It looks to me like Woody is not quite ready for install. P.S. If you reply to this cc: me over at Mike_Rudmin "at" yahoo.com, or I won't see it. Not that I have to. [@ sign was spelled out to jinx spammers].
