Re: Debian 2.2
looks like bad cds to me, i'd get new ones from somewhere(not sure where
to reccomend) see the debian homepage for who has them, or if you have a
CD-R you can make your own. it seems since debian does not make their
own cds(non commercial) quality can be questionable from vendor to
vendor. ive had many bad debian cds in the past i don't think its
uncommon.
