The files you have downloaded are corrupted or truncated and are not proper copies of the dvd images. You can verify this for yourself by calculating the md5 sums of the files you have and comparing them against those listed in the MD5SUMS file at the address above (although since the file sizes don't match there's no point in doing this now, your copies are definitely broken). It is generally not recommended to download DVD images directly in this manner, as it is prone to failure (as we can see here). A far better means is to use "jigdo" as described at <http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/>. This is more reliable and often faster. -- Jon Dowland http://alcopop.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
