Also, not a fix, but I recall having a lot of trouble with Lenny
install disks back when Lenny was still in testing. I would discount
very much the significance of trouble with a disk from that era. Also,
traditionally, install disk are one of the last things to be gotten
working proir to release, and Squeeze is not about to be released, I
think.
Perhaps you should install Lenny from a newly downloaded netinst, and
then dist-upgrade, or whatever, to Squeeze.
