Um, I'm not saying you haven't, but there is a difference between http.us.debian.org and www.debian.org. But, more importantly, I have had times when http.us.debian.org has been like a stuck pig, but ftp.us.debian.org (usually ftp://ftp.us.debian.org) has worked. > > Are you choosing ftp install, or what? > The only options on this installer are cdrom, network, already > mounted & nfs.

I've seen nothing that says woody's stable. www.debian.org says (still) that the latest release is 2.2r2 (potato) released 5-Dec-2000. Since you apparently have the bandwith to do net install, could you either do it in pieces or by ISO? Or you could go get the potato installer, install that, then upgrade to woody. Not quicker, I know. -- "To misattribute a quote is unforgivable." --Anonymous
