Hmm... I have had problems from time to time downloading CD and DVD images from the repositories using jigdo - occasionally it failed due to some missing files. I think I solved it by changing to a different mirror site. Are you using a net install CD? You can also start a net install off from some floppy disks if you are using a really old machine. What sort of box are you using? I can't install Etch on my computer and I have only this computer. Please help me!!! When you say you only have one machine, is there any other OS on it? Are you trying to set up a dual boot situation with e.g. MS Windows and Debian Etch? If you do have MS Windows working on part of the machine at present, you could use e.g. jigdo or bittorrent etc to download the CD or DVD images for Debian instead of doing a net install if it doesn't seem to work. You wouldn't need to download all the CD or DVD's. The first DVD image would probably be enough. It would take a bit longer but then you can install the OS from the DVD. Providing you get the whole image intact (check in the Debian installer with the CD integrity option) then you won't get missing file error messages etc. Regards Michael Fothergill _ Fancy some celeb spotting? https://www.celebmashup.com

You can also start a net install off from some floppy disks if you areusing a really old machine. I use a net install CD, yes... What sort of box are you using? amd sempron 64 1.81Ghz When you say you only have one machine, is there any other OS on it? Are you trying to set up a dualboot situation with e.g. MS Windows and Debian Etch? I don't have other OS like winzoz on the PC. to write this mail I'm using a little laptop with debian etch i386 and i've not any problem. but I want my 64 bit pc... damn'it! OK So you do have another machine and it is running etch i386 But you bought a 64 bit box and are trying to install the amd64 version of Etch on it. Fair enough. If you do have MS Windows working on part of the machine at present, you could use e.g. jigdo orbittorrent etc to download the CD or DVD images for Debian instead of doing a net install if it doesn'tseem to work. You wouldn't need to download all the CD or DVD's. I've already dowloaded any cd images for 64bit but do not run. Hang on a minute here. When you say you already downloaded some 64 bit CD images, which ones were they? If you only downloaded the netinstall CD, then you need to check it has no errors on it. I have downloaded iso files for Linux distributions in the past and burned the CDs and then discovered they had errors on them caused by imperfect CD copying of the data. Provided enough of the netinstall CD is perfectly burned to run the Debian installer then you can run it and then select for the integrity option to get the installer to scan all the way through the CD to check that it was produced perfectly with no copying errors. If there any errors on it then the installation process won't work and you won't be able to install the OS. You say you also copied other CD images. The same thing is needed here. I scan every CD I have burned using the installer to check the integrity of each copied image. Only then do I try to install the OS. Hope this helps. Regards Michael Fothergill The first DVD image would probably be enough. It would take a bit longer but then you can install theOS from the DVD. Providing you get the whole image intact (check in the Debian installer with the CDintegrity option) then you won't get missing file error messages etc. I use wget for the download... I'm not a microzoftzzz user. best regards. _ Fancy some celeb spotting? https://www.celebmashup.com

See the debian website for a list of mirrors: choose one close to you. If you have any CD other than the businesscard.iso then you can install a minimal system without any further network during the install. Once you reboot, you can set up networking and choose a better mirror. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've tried... the mirror do not run If you have any CD other than the businesscard.iso then you can install a minimal system without any further network during the install. Once you reboot, you can set up networking and choose a better mirror. also I've tried... do not run anyway... :( I think the problem is only for 64bit releases... I have an etch 32 bit in a little laptop that do not worrry me... Is my only satisfation in debian world. I'm very deceived. bye.

I think there's a whole discussion list that can disagree with you regarding the problem with amd64 releases. Your complaints aren't very informative either and there are hundreds of mirrors to choose from, i'm sure ONE of them oughta work. Have you tried the ones on this list? http://www.us.debian.org/mirror/list Are you burning your ISOs properly or just dragging them onto a blank CD? What exactly does happen if you try to boot an instalation CD? It yells at you or something? -- Fica bem, porta-te mal.

If so, then the problem isn't the mirror. IIRC, you said that your friend already made the CD for you from a debian mirror. I think the problem is only for 64bit releases...

Tell us the name of the CD; i.e. if you can, the URL from which it was burned. Put it into the machine and power it on. What happens? Have you read the installation manual?
