OK... Please ignore this :) Was a combination of a whole pile of things
that I finally sorted out (like the malformed release marker file and a
few other things that I missed!)

Subject: 3.0.17 woody install boot disks won't net install?

Hi all,
Can't seem to get 3.0.17-2001-11-20 boot disks for Alpha doing a network
install. Seems to get up to downloading Release and comes back immediately
with "Malformed release file
http://http.us.debian.org:80/debian/dists/woody/Release";.
On looking at the logs, I see it's trying to run '/usr/sbin/debootstrap
--boot-floppies --arch alpha woody /target
http://http.us.debian.org:80/debian', which promptly returns with:
/usr/sbin/debootstrap: 3: Bad file descriptor
Ideas anyone?
I'm gonna try and find alternative boot disks... don't know about my luck
though :)
Box is an AlphaPC 164 500MHz running SRM 5.5-1
