I've downloaded and burned the 0.92 install iso but I run into trouble while retreiving packages. It can't retrieve groff and then quits because of it. Any suggestions?

In what way can it not retrieve groff?  Simply 'file not found'?  Run
'apt-get update' and try again.  Or give a bit more information about
your problem.

Hmm, shouldn't be looking for groff.  Looks for groff-base these days.
If, for example, you were netbooting a lifimage from an older CD, but
installing from a newer CD you would see that problem.

We did boot from an older lifimage due to problems with the new lifimage on
the 0.92 install. For some reason it wouldn't netboot off the lifimage.

I'm currently downloading the 0.92 full iso to see if that yeilds any luck.

How exactly do you check the md5sums?

0.9.2 and 0.9.2-install have the same lifimage on them.  Post more
details if it still wont netboot.

Typical linux systems, at least, have a utility md5sum, so you just
enter "md5sum <filename>" at the shell prompt.  A web search for
md5sum.exe should help if you use certain other OSes.
