I just installed Debian on a similar hardware setup. Some things you might like to check: Did you download the files over the internet? Are they corrupted? Check sizes with the originals. Have you gone through bios disabling shadow memory? What other hardware is installed in the machine? I assume you have the triniton chipset? > > System Info: > Pentium MMX 200 MHz > intel 82430TX chipset > 128 MB RAM > 5 GB Western Digital (1 GB partition for Debian) >
