I have given up.I have had repeated attempts to write the Debian 6.04 "x386" DVD, using the "CD/DVD Creator" that is the default that came with Debian 6, that cannot create a bootable disc, and Brasero that cannot eject the disc, and I have not been able to obtain a bootable DVD of the Debian 6.04 "x386" version.
It appears that Debian simply does not instal and run on 32 bit Intel based chip systems anymore.
All that I have been able to do with Debian 6, in trying to instal it on the 32 bit computer, is create coasters, and waste bandwidth with the unusable downloads, and I have now, too many Debian 6 32 bit coasters.
