Here I get $ md5sum debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso 07b6034367c171526c4fbcdf0851162c debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso 166703104 Byte, downloaded with wget Funny, though, that it runs properly for all the rest of the install. I went through until the network was to be configured. I'll try another download.
Okay, back to square one. $ md5sum debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso 66e653ba924329df7029c796b4065bed debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso (20070304) does not find a network interface card. The two-year-old 20050305 (incidentially 2 years) does find a NIC and installs nicely. Also to repeat: I have by now booted to a variety of Knoppix, DSL, harddisks.img, OLPC. No problem. What next ?
