Hi everyone, Yesterday I downloaded the new squeeze rc1 debian installer (netinstall.iso) and also the boot.img.gz from these locations:
- http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/ - http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/squeeze_di_rc1/amd64/iso-cd/debian-sq-di-rc1-amd64-netinst.iso After creating the usb stick to install debian, I could check that the wired network card is now detected and everything goes fine until the part where I choose the software to install. I chose the "Desktop Environment", "Laptop" and "SSH utilities" and after that the installer starts to download a total of 1050 packages. When it gets about 120 packages, the network card stops getting any further packages and the installation aborts (I can see on shell 4 that there are lots of errors concerning the download of the packages). After that I install grub on the hard disk and finish the installation. So, right now, I have only a base debian system and was thinking to download the package build-essential and bunzip2 and try to compile and install the compat-wireless package from scratch to see if I can then install the packages I need for a desktop environment on my asus netbook. By the way, can you point me some documentation or online guides for the packages I need for this (only the necessary packages for a Gnome environment)?
