I am trying to get a first time debian install going, and concluded I needed a copy of the latest stable potato. I am using the pseudo image kit for windows (from http://cdimage.debian.org/~costar/pseudo-image-kit/) to get the stuff for the CD image, since the linux box is not connected to the network yet. The download of the packages into the pseudo image went fine. However, when I try to transform it to the official image, I cannot get rsync to do anything other than give me a message: "failed to connect to (whichever site I try) - The descriptor is a file, not a socket" When I try to see a directory of the rsync server to see if I have the right path, I get the same error. Can't find any documentation for the Windows version that would help, or even tell me if it is a syntax problem or some other kind. The exact command I am using is as follows: rsync --verbose --progress --stats --block-size=8192 saens.debian.org::debian-cd/2.2_rev2/i386/binary-i386-1.iso . which as far as I can tell is what the readme file says to do, substituting a real site for the sample given. I have tried many variations on the site name and path, all with the same result. Any help would be much appreciated. Barry
