Actually, I'm able to find the file with the exception of 'menu.c32'  in
'debian-installer/amd64/boot-screens' from the 'netboot.tar.gz'.

If it helps, I can get them from the above pkg instead of the archive.

Now I'm stuck at this one:

"Unable to locate configuration file"


Thanks for your help Reco, much appriciated.

P.S.

I may have have misspelld your name in the past, sorry about that.
