Yes, I know that this has nothing to do with you - but I am installing debian linux for sparc on a SPARC machine and I am getting all the time during the decompression of the files from the CDROM error messages about "corrupt files" like this
file: /instmnt/pool/main/d/dpkg/dpkg_1.9.21.sparc.deb was corrupt and if you hit enter cannot dowload dpkg and then the installation program breaks up. Suggestions? Thank you.
