wrong: the debian web site has the following live CDs available as bit torrents at http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/i386/bt-hybrid/ debian-live-6.0.6-i386-gnome-desktop.iso.torrent debian-live-6.0.6-i386-kde-desktop.iso.torrent debian-live-6.0.6-i386-lxde-desktop.iso.torrent debian-live-6.0.6-i386-rescue.iso.torrent debian-live-6.0.6-i386-standard.iso.torrent debian-live-6.0.6-i386-xfce-desktop.iso.torrent > In fact, I am thinking that you are trying to use the live debian CDs. > I do not know if they are official stuff, and I was never able to find a > damned iso image on the website... this could explain the strange > notation numbers you are using and the references to a desktop. the same disks are available as ISOs from http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/i386/iso-hybrid/ which is also from the debian web site... are you sure you truly "understand" your "little Debian"? > Try an image you can find on www.debian.org, to be more precise, i did: both the bit torrents and the ISOs are located on a sub-domain of debian.org! > http://www.debian.org/CD/ > or > http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/ if i go to http://www.debian.org/CD/ it gives me a link to download the CD/DVD image using bit torrent, which leads to http://www.debian.org/CD/torrent-cd/ and, from there, i am offered a range of different processors, and when i choose i386, i end up at http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.6/i386/bt-cd/ which is on /the/ /same/ /server/ (cdimage.debian.org) as the live CDs... the only difference is that if i go to http://www.debian.org/CD/ i am /NOT/ offered a live-cd option, which i wanted to be sure that it was, indeed, what i wanted /before/ i took the plunge and installed the damned thing. -- namaste salamandir salaman...@spamcop.net - spam at your own risk http://przxqgl.hybridelephant.com/ Professional New Age Renaissance Man -- Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law. -- Thomas Jefferson
