Hello everyone, this is my first post here.
I am facing lot of problems in installing wheezy.
1) I downloaded the dvd-1 image of amd-64 precisely
debian-7.1.0-amd64-DVD-1 for installing wheezy. I checked the md5sum of
my downloaded file and it was the same as of the original. So the image
was verified.
Being a hybrid image, I just ran the following commands to make a bootable usb stick
cp debian-7.1.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso /dev/sdc/
sync
As
expected the files were copied to the usb. But when I booted my
machine, it said isolinux missing or something, ie the bootable stick
failed.
I then used win32diskimager and it failed too.
After
that I used unetbootin which made the usb bootable and the installation
started too, but the installation failed saying the CD-ROM does not
seem to contain a valid "release" file.
As a last resort trying to install through usb, I used
universal usb installer, which worked. I made all the partition, set all
the passwords and did other settings, but this installation failed too,
this time on base installation step saying that it could not download
the following packages.
