Hi Members,
Been at this for quite some time. I'm new to the application called
md5sum.exe thus please be patient. I researched the how-to and
attempted to verify the debian netinst file called,
debian-6.0.5-i386-inetinst.iso that I downloaded yesterday.
I'm using windows 2000 and windows 7 to
that explains how to accomplish
this otherwise simple procedure that had become difficult for me.
Thank you

Hi Members
I just downloaded the netinst (stable) release of Debian for i386
