going round and round and round the website trying to find info



 


i'm trying desperatley to install debian on a clean system from scratch.
i downloaded and burnt two cds but it wont install because it thinks a package
is corrupt. so i want to try network install. the "network install" www
page
only actually links to cd images to download. well i've already got a bootable
cd. it doesnt
say where to download the files from. the installation manual mutters something
about "rescue.bin" but doesnt say where it is. the mirrors lists either
go on and on about cd iso images which is no good or i end up at a mirror
with a thousand directories. "i386" is obvious, but woody,sarge,testing...
hello? heare of version numbers? which version should i download? and each
of those just has a bunch of random junk in.

i.e. i live in the uk can you please please just print the exact address
that i need to type in to the box on the debian install screen to tell it
where to get the files from??!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?

e.g.

"ftp.uk.debian.org/the/place/to/network/install/from/please/"

or would that be too easy?

cheers

ric
