Sarge linux26 Install Corrupt?

[Robert J Rae <rjrae@softprofit.com>]

when I try to to install sarge as I have done many times via http, I now 
get warnings about kernel image removal and packages that have failed to 
install, web and mail packages that have worked fine in the past, so a 
little bit of reading points to etch upgrades having similar 
problems..........but I don't want to upgrade.....can I add some 
parameter at boot to just build a plain old sarge 3.1 ..........or is my 
only option to build from the cd's

Thank you for your help.
