Hi Avraham, 1. How did you installed to offline packages? using dpkg or apt-get? Did you create your repository localy? 2. I checked the MD5 sum of the iso file from which I burned the cds. It's indentical to the one at http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/debian-cd/images/3.0_r1/i386/MD5SUMS (debian-30r1-i386-binary-1.iso) 3. You might have to the NON_US version of disc 1 (debian-30r1-i386-binary-1_NONUS.iso). Check it. 4. Please check to last modified date on file like /root/.profile to see if anything was done to them. Root's path is set there. You may also want to check the file content.
