Re: [vox-tech] what's up with debian?
Just to finish this thread... I installed squeeze using an old net install cd I had and then I upgraded to wheezy.

Re: [vox-tech] what's up with debian?
that has the checksum for the i386 version, not amd64. i poked around and found a directory for amd64 that did have am md5sum file but it was for other files than the one I downloaded. The directory contained five other amd64 iso's, all different from the one I downloaded. I have manged now to boot the usb stick but the install program can't find the right kernel modules even tho there is an initrd on the stick. I think it is only looking at the hard drives.

Re: [vox-tech] what's up with debian?
Google sez an MD5SUMS file is here: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/multi-arch/iso-cd/ Don't know if that is the one you downloaded. It is not unheard of for the copy on one website to be bad, so repeated downloading might not help. Do your due diligence. I would not be surprised about those strings being present... they would be delivered if the first-stage boot loader had difficulty.

its an iso. debian-7.7.0-amd64-netinst.iso I didn't see a checksum for it on the debian web site.

Re: [vox-tech] what's up with debian?
Is the net install an iso? If so, check the md5sum for the image you downloaded. Then verify that it burned properly. I know no details of the current Debian images, but I have encountered problems in all three of these ways in the past. --- Jeff NewmillerThe . . Go Live... DCN:Basics: ##.#. ##.#. Live Go...
