Debina Installation ISO DVD Image Files
Dear Sir, I have downloaded DVD ISO Images files from this below location: - http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/3.1_r2/i386/iso-dvd/ in this section the file size its shows 4.4G for debian-31r2-i386-binary-1, but when I am downloading it give me 372MB and for the another file debian-31r2-i386-binary-2 it shows 4.1G but when I downloads it gives me 127MB. So is this file ok or has to be correct 4 GB? I have doubt just because of this sizes. And is it according to above MBs then even I can burn on normal 700MB CDs right? So whats the meaning of DVD ISO Files? I didnt get? Please help me. Regards, Robert

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]

Something (most probably your download program or your OS) can't handle files larger than 4gb. Try downloading using different software (that supports 64bit file sizes) or find a smaller image. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Are you using a FAT partition (DOS or earlier Windows)? I don't think they can handle files that size. Or maybe it's the program you used to download the images. At any rate--these .iso's are broken and won't work right (at all, likely). And is it according to above MB's then even I can burn on normal 700MB CD's right? So what's the meaning of DVD ISO Files? I didn't get? You are also correct in that. To use a DVD image, you need blank DVD and a DVD burner (I don't think + or - matters). If you just have regular CD's try the CD images. If you have a fast net connection, I would grab the one labelled 'netinst' and do a network install. Or the 'businesscard' one if you have a spiffy mini-CD ;) -- Christopher Nelson -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- It's NO USE ...
