Subject: Re: Bug#275508: sarge installer hang-ups
X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.613)
shy jo....
The link to the image I used was on this page...
http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/cd-images/debian-weekly/i386/
I used the file 'sarge-i386-1.iso.
BTW, where can I find md5 checksums for these files? ("check cd
validity" checked out ok)
FWIW, Debian woody, sarge-netinst work.... hdinstall programs that are
part of knoppix, morphix, and damn-small-linus do NOT work.... they
hang part way through.
Thanx.
