problem installing debian-40r3-i386-netinst.iso
I installed Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 r3 "Etch" – Official i386 NETINST Binary-1 20080218-14:15 on my old Dell Dimension 4100, and it went off without a hitch. Using the same disk, I tried to install it on my old Gateway Solo 1100 laptop (which has a Celeron processor, 64MB of RAM and a 5GB HD). It seemed to be going fine (in "low memory mode") but during "Load Installer Components from CD" the installation stalled trying to retrieve zliblg-udeb. I was not able to get passed this point. There's nothing wrong with the disk, since it was fine for the first installation. Is 64 MB just not enough memory? I would be grateful for any thoughts any of you might have about this.

If it contains many files and directories, then you probably burned it correctly. Stuart -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Try this link: http://www.debian.org/CD/http-ftp/#stable Anyway, the md5sum for the CD you mention is: 1df0cf02ba4213dd94b3e8bbe20cfe73 There is no reputable Linux distro that ships CD images without providing hashes. -- Lee Glidewell | PGP key: D5D686A7 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] As far as I can tell, there is no pre-computed md5 checksum provided with the download (http://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst#smallcd). Am I missing something? I have tried only these 3 computers, and haven't yet found one that boots from debian-40r3-i386-netinst.iso. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

And how did you burn the iso? Does the cd contain just the one iso file or a number of files and directories? I think from your comment "copied to cd" you may not have burnt the CD correctly.
