Dear list -
I am trying to install squeeze from Debian-6.0.1a-i386-CD-1.iso. The
installation fails with the message "The CD-ROM" does not contain a
valid Release file".
Here are some details of the system:
Dell Optiplex 260
2 GB RAM
1.4 GB Pentium 4
40 GB blank hard drive.
I am a newbie, so please walk me thru this.

maybe tthere's a problem with the installer. Please check its md5sum
(installer ISO before burning to a blank CD)
e.g: your downloading
<http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.1a/i386/iso-cd/debian-6.0.1a-i386-CD-1.iso>http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.1a/i386/iso-cd/debian-6.0.1a-i386-CD-1.iso,
so its md5sum (from
<http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.1a/i386/iso-cd/MD5SUMS>http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.1a/i386/iso-cd/MD5SUMS)
should be
