Re: Problems getting Etch in France
Debian Etch ISO images are available for download, completely free,
via the internet, just like those Fedora ISO's you are downloading.
I highly recommend you get the single Debian NetInstall ISO. Since
you are using a Dial-Up connection, this will be the fastest way to
install Debian.
On a side note, what kinds of problems were you running into when
installing other distros?
I had problems installing most distros on a computer I built that was
using a motherboard with a VIA C3 processor, which is missing the
"CMOV" instruction that some 686 binaries are compiled with.
Cheers,
Elijah
