Debian Download Problems
Dear Sir or Madam,
...I'm sure you've heard this before, I can't download an error free ISO of
either version of potato or woody. I'm using frontiernet dsl (509
down-125up) on a hp xt953 with a hp pavilion mx70 display,1000mhz machine
with easy disk creator basic. I'm a licensed tech instructor with a good
handle on the mechanics of the process. Different files are corrupted with
each attempt. I can get it installed by using different disks (each
representing a different downloading attempt) at the corrupt notification-a
creepy enterprise at best
...then, can't get x to run, xfree86 issues, sound issues, display issues,
modem issues-this should not be this hard, with a machine less than a year
old
...ok, the ability to download a good copy (either ISO or jigdo) appears to
be a myth, so my question is: if I buy a copy from some vendor, who, and
where, and what hopes do I have to get an error free copy that way? I'm
trying to avoid going redhat or mandrake or whatever...
...I believe in this product's concept, would like to help promote it
within our educational system as an economical alternative
...my point is, if I can't do it, how can I ask that the person on the
street could be expected to do it
...I guess I should look at this as an opportunity to launch my own
version-is that necessary? I hope not.
...I truly want to participate in a process that helps break a monopoly and
bring debian gnu linux to the masses, is that the objective of anyone else?
...any dialogue would be appreciated
