Installing debian through ftp

["Richard Harran." <95rmwh@eng.cam.ac.uk>]

Thanks for all the help so far.

I've been trying some other things, and have found that I cannot connect
to a local site using telnet through linux (using the site's computer
name).

Also, I found the IP Address of the ftp.debian.org ftp site by going to it
in netscape (under Win95), and reading the 'connecting to server ...'
numbers.  I tried to connect to this using the ftp open command, and got
the error 'no root to server'.

I have looked at the resolv.conf file, and it has two valid entries for
nameservers.  There is also a line 'lookup rmwh2.trin.cam.ac.uk'.  This is
my computers name.

Thanks

Richard Harran.
