If you have a linux system already you could check if the CDs are corrupt by: cd /cdrom mk5sum -c mk5sum.txt No message = good, error message = bad It's quite possible that only one or a few packages on your CD are corrupt (mk5sum would tell you which ones). Since you know that one particular package is corrupt, remove it from your base install. In dselect, find it using / (to search), and - (to unselect it), then continue. If that's the only corrupt package, then you should have clear sailing. If there are other corrupt packages, remove them too as long as they're not essential. Then install them over the net after you have your base system working. -Levi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
