Definitely! A while later I realised I was dumbly copying the ".iso" file to a cd instead of burning an image.
Besides, I was trying to extract the file into the cd-rom instead of, say, the desktop.
Anyway, I've finally burnt the cd and it more or less works
(though I had to type "linux26",otherwise it wouldn't recognise my ethernet card) Now the problem is that I can't connect to the mirrors to complete the installation (it says "temporal error").
I had to set the internet configuration manually, so I may have done a mistake, but I don't know where.
I'm re-installing the amd64 version, which at least can set the internet configuration automatically,
and download nearly all packages (except security updates, among others !!).

so I'll try to get used to Debian now,and then, when Etch is released, I'll give it a try.Thanks for your help!Regards,
