Hello,
I have been trying to install Debian Potato r2 on a new PC with no success.
The PC hangs when booting from the CD-ROM after the following messages are
displayed on the screen:
hdc: ATAPI 48x DVD-ROM drive, 512kB Cache
Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.11
Here are some of the system specs
Please try

Hello,
I had not much time to follow discussions till now, but I have a great
reason to help : I do need something like debian-installer for the project
I'm working for at work ;)

You ask:

A Windows has ftp/www clients, use them to download to e.g. c:\tmp
then reboot to linux; mount your_win_part /mnt
and your downloaded files are available in /mnt/tmp
