Hi,

Thank you for answering so fast.

Unfortunately, installing Debian is an "extra" for me
(I do it when I have some free time) and I am presently 
overwhelmed with work. I cannot handle the problem 
right now.

"http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz";.

How can it be checked?

I really do not understand what you refer to here...


Thank you for all your tips.
