This is almost always not necessary; you can download the essentail files from disks-<yourarchitecture> and then have APT do the downloading (I assume that if you have the time or bandwidth to download this much before installing then you have enough to do it during :-) > 6 hours later the install bombed with an error code 1. Any ideas? This is usually an setup *script* from a specific pacakge that's causing trouble; in most cases once you can eliminate the problem with package X everything else can configure itself fine. However, to get any help you'll have to post the actual errors - what script is causing this problem and what the command with the 'red flag' exit status is. From there someone should be able to figure it out. -- "Men argue; nature acts." -- Voltaire
