Re: Problem downloading Debian DVDs...

["Redefined Horizons" <redefined.horizons@gmail.com>]

Joey and Douglas,

Thank you for your assistanve. I am already using an older version of
Etch. I thought since Debian had made Etch the official "stable"
release of Debian that I would now upgrade to the "testing" release.

The computer I want to install Debian on does not have an internet
connection, so I will need to burn either CDs or DVDs. I am trying to
download the .iso files on a Windows XP machine that has a high-speed
connection to the internet. Perhaps it can't handle the side of the
ISO files. I guess I'll have to burn all of the CDs.

Thanks for the help.
