That wasn't me! Im Ben Humpert and not rhelas rhelas. Please send us the email of rhelas rhelas so we all can add him to blacklist. Thanks And the reason why im not answered to all the responses till now is that im still have various problems with installing etch on my 860 but the problems doesnt belong to debian itself, looks more like a routing/hardware problem of the server. I just want to finish the installation OR want to wait until i get a debian error so i dont have to write more than one mail. more than one would be useless.
Sorry Ben,

I didn't even look at the chain, just the message. It was so illogical that some idiot would jump into a thread where I was wanting to be helpful that I didn't even think about the possibility that it was someone completely unrelated to the thread. Ummm.... I do have a question though. Just who, and where, are you referring to when you say, "send us the message"?
