Comments/Problems: <First of all, I don't remember if the loading of the installer modules went well; hence the question mark. When setting up the network, I get an error message: "Network autoconfiguration failed". This may simply be due to the fact that I don't have an internet connection. When I try to install the base system, I get the following error messages: "Debootstrap Error" and
"Failed to determine the codename for the release." I would like to set up the Debian system as soon as possible to:
1. use a standard word-processing package that can read various MS and other file formats
2. use Skype (audio only)
3. use a standard web browser
4. listen to mp3 files (this requirement is not for my entertainment)
5. read PDF file>
