im not sure... I would recommend using the second one from the bottom.. the netinstall.

Erm, but I've already spent all this time downloading the cd-1 iso.

And jbennet said all you need is cd 1 and 2, so I presume he meant cd-1 and cd-2?

[Sturm]

but the netinstall cd is only 130 mb...

[jbennet]

yeah then you just download wat you need, youll end up downloading about 750mb with the netibstall cd anyway for a decent GNOME install

who cares what cd he downloads as long as he downloads it. after all, the final product is what matters.

thats why you install a better wm than gnome...

Guys, problems. I put cd-1 and it after a little while it returns a msg saying "failure please check the integrity of your cd-rom".

Looks like I'm gonna have to find another. Doh. (cd-rom drive that is)

[jbennet]

it means the disk is bad , try reburning

[Sturm]

those cd-rs are very reliable! (lol)

[jbennet]

you know how to check the MD5sum right?

[iamthwee]

Nope, tried it with a fresh iso of cd-1, it worked on another system buts fails on the one in question.

Again same error msg. Please check the integrity of the cd-rom. Do I need a new cd rom drive?

[TheNNS]

you should probably swap it out with a good known one and then try it.

[iamthwee]

Sounds like a logical idea. However, the only cd-rom drive that I know works is the one I have in my machine and I'm scared to take it out, cos I bet you when I put it back in something won't work. Arrgh. :(
