RE: Console does not display all the lines
Thanks Frans,
I have downloaded the boot.img and root.img floppy images.
Do I have to download the CD image as well?
It looks to me that it's trying to download the different components off the
network, not from the CD. At this moment I don't have a permanent internet
connection. :-(
I see that this installation process has changed quite a bit. I still have
the problem seeing fewer lines on my console. :'-(
Thanks again.
-Marvin
PS.
I'll keep trying.
PPS.
Yes, it's an old machine. :-)
It's a Toshiba Satellite 1400-S151

If you're installing Woody, you may want to try the new Debian Installer and
install Sarge instead.
Debian Installer is available from [1]. Try the link to the Ports Status
Page.
I'd advice the daily builds as they are very close to the release of the
first
Release Candidate.
I recently had a very successful install on a Satellite A40, but I'm
guessing
your machine is an older model.
Good luck.
