Hello everyone, this is my first post here.
I am facing lot of problems in installing wheezy.
1) I downloaded the dvd-1 image of amd-64 precisely debian-7.1.0-amd64-DVD-1 for installing wheezy. I checked the md5sum of my downloaded file and it was the same as of the original. So the image was verified.
Being a hybrid image, I just ran the following commands to make a bootable usb stick
cp debian-7.1.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso /dev/sdc/
sync
As expected the files were copied to the usb. But when I booted my machine, it said isolinux missing or something, ie the bootable stick failed.
I then used win32diskimager and it failed too.
After that I used unetbootin which made the usb bootable and the installation started too, but the installation failed saying the CD-ROM does not seem to contain a valid "release" file.
As a last resort trying to install through usb, I used universal usb installer, which worked. I made all the partition, set all the passwords and did other settings, but this installation failed too, this time on base installation step saying that it could not download the following packages.
