It shows that base installation is failing because it cannot find the file /cdrom/.disk/base_installable. This file should be present on any netinst and full Debian CD or DVD. Some questions (please put your answers below the questions). - If you run the installation, can you check if that file is present This file is not on the DVD. Here is the list of files on the .disk directory: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /media/cdrom0/.disk total 2 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 5 2006-04-10 02:22 base_components -r--r--r-- 1 root root 76 2006-04-10 02:21 info -r--r--r-- 1 root root 17 2005-11-15 01:30 udeb_exclude -r--r--r-- 1 root root 52 2005-10-26 18:38 udeb_include Because the file is not on the DVD I think trying again the installation makes no sense. - Switch to VT2 after the scan of the CD is complete. - First do 'ls -l /cdrom'; you should see .disk listed. - Next do 'ls /cdrom/.disk/'; you should see base_installable listed. - Exactly what image have you downloaded (please give the full URL, i.e. everything from "http://" to ".iso")? http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/i386/iso-dvd/debian-testing-i386-binary-1.iso The content of the info file is: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /media/cdrom0/.disk/info Debian GNU/Linux testing "Etch" - Official Snapshot i386 Binary-1 (20060410) - What method have you used for downloading it (download of the iso, jigdo, bittorrent)? I used wget -r http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/i386/iso-dvd/debian-testing-i386-binary-1.iso - What software have you used to burn the image to CD/DVD? I used xcdroast. I did a similar installation half a year ago and used the same procedure for burning and everything worked worked fine. - Have you remastered the CD/DVD in any way? No, I just wrote the iso image to DVD. Cheers, FJP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
