One is on CDROMs, the other is on a DVD-ROM. They both fail to install when the installation reaches libc6_2.2.5-6_i386.deb which is stated to be corrupt. Is it possible that a corrupt file is being distributed, or must I look closer to home ? My other distros (Mandrake, Red Hat, SuSE 8.0 and FreeBSD4.4 Unix) all install OK including the SuSE DVD version. Anyone else had a similar experience ? I particularly want to test drive Debian and the .deb installation system.
