Please check its md5sum (installer ISO before burning to a blank CD)
e.g: your downloading http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.1a/i386/iso-cd/debian-6.0.1a-i386-CD-1.iso, so its md5sum (from http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.1a/i386/iso-cd/MD5SUMS) should be b0307432f0af51c2e821c8075907d171 useful to read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Md5sum -- Regards, Umarzuki Mochlis http://debmal.my
