Comments/Problems:
I have spent more than three days struggling with the installation. I downloaded
the CD images from the first mirror named in the list for Australia and found
errors being reported when I came to the Binaries-2 CD: either "broken ..." or
"not a Debian package". I downladed another copy of the image for this CD
in case it had been corrupted during transmission, but the result was the same.
I finally decided to skip the CDs and did a net install. This time I searched
further down the list and found a mirror at monash.edu.au which I knew used
the same optic cable service that I use. This install was fast and clean.
However, some necessary packages were not installed. These included CUPS
and foomatic. I found the video installation confusing and had to opt for the
default vesa driver. I don't know whether nv might have been more appropriate
for my nVidia Riva TNT card since with vesa I cannnot get better than 800x600.
The system is now working, although as a new user of unix I am having a few
problems sorting some things out.

Given that your installation was a complete success, I do as
usual with reports for successful installations: I close the bug..:-)
This does not of course mean you weren't right to report. Knowing the
installations are correct is important for the d-i team.
Many thanks for your time testing the Debian Installer and reporting
your results. Have fun with your new Debian system!
