I am trying to install Debian GNU/Linux version 2.1 on a Compaq Deskpro PII 233. I have downloaded all of the required files from the ftp site and I am using a boot disk to install Debian. The base file (base2_1.tgz) is on the dos partition. The install goes fine until it tries to unzip the base file. Then I get an error stating that "There was a problem extracting the Base System from /instmnt/linux/debian/base2_1.tgz. I have downloaded this several times from different sites to make sure I didn't get a bad copy with no luck. I have also tried to install the base from floppy disks and I get the same results. Any ideas on what could be causing this.
Thanks in advance, Jerry
