The first >install never did boot and eventually woody got corrupted The sarge release is my first experience with Debian. I downloaded the install floppies, booted from floppy, and then FTP installed. Doing that on two boxes, I've had no stability problems at all. But in my case, I know my hardware and power source are solid. Many software problems can be explained by marginal power and/or hardware. Don't know if that's true for you, or not, but without scopes and logic analyzers, creeping corruption is sometimes the best way to know when you have hardware and/or power problems. -- A: Maybe because some people are too annoyed by top-posting.
