Re: Installer fails whilst finding packages
It's working now. I ran 'linux verbose debug' from the CD startup. It asked me a few more questions, including where on the cd is the root of the debian mirror and happily found all the packages. I could probably run it again in normal mode without the verbose if anyone thinks it's worth testing.

Re: Installer fails whilst finding packages
Thanks for your reply. > fbd648f7db424b89b2d9e903c47d67b5 /var/cache/apt/archives/iptables_1.2.6a-5_i386.deb I've done a little more research and yes the checksums match. I checked both the md5sum iyou gave and the one in the Packages file. The compressed packages file is identical. > Look on verbose messages at thirth and fourth console (alt-f3, alt-f4). There is nothing on Alt-f4 I can see, i'll go hunt for a way to make the installer more verbose. Alt-f3, the third console just gives me 'dbootstrap: user.err could not download iptables' The US version gives me exactly the same problem. I ran "dpkg-deb --field debian/pool.ipchains_target.deb" and it never complained about the package being corrupt. I couldnt find any dpkg command to verify a package in the short time I've been trying to find one. I cant see anything wrong with the packages file that specifies the iptables file, not that i'm overly familiar with the format. I also copied everything a "find /instmnt -type f | grep deb$" found into the /target/var/cache/apt/archive/ area and it all fits happily. I'm going to try starting over again, with one single big partition on the hard drive to see if it's related to anything like that, but i dont know where to look so i'm just grasping for clues at this point.
