I treid to lode some packages from the debian home page and from a mirror. On all the package from both servers i got a message that they where currupt and it looks like they where downloaded as ascii. I've downloaded packages before on this computer and they worked fine. The difference is that usually i download them to disk and the i take them on diskets home, put them on the dos partition there on install them from there. Now i brought the hard disk from my computer here. first i down loaded the files on a w95 machine (i don't have dial up running on linux yet) to the second hardisk on the system (configures as a second master on a pentium) and then changed the first disk which holds the w95 system with the disk i brought with me holding linux. I then mounted the second hardisk and tried to install the packages but got the error message. when i mounted the disk i got an error message sayeing the linux couldn't load character translation or something like that (forgot to write it down, sorry) (it said that also when i tried to mount dos partition on the same disk. i also tried to copy the files under dos to the disk holding linux but i still got a message that the files are currupt. The computer I'm trying this on is a pentium with both disks intalled as masters (first and second master) the computer i got the hardisk from and on which it ususaly runs is a 486. Thanx
