I think it might have been interference from a wireless Mac in our local network (I had made my notebook wired so Debian could install, but normally it's wireless too). I don't know how that could happen, but once you rule out the impossible, whatever remains, however unlikely, must be the truth... Still, why didn't the Debian Installer time-out and restart the wget when it wasn't working? I know that the network was still working as the Mac was working perfectly fine. -Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
