Thought I'd post the way I got through this problem, not that I'd call
it a fix, as such.
I eventually used the Woody CD 1 to get the bootstrap up, then
removed the CD. When time came to install bootdisks, base etc
I used the Network method, and ftp protocol. http didn't work.
I've got to figure that both jigdo and http from my home machine
are corrupting some packages, and that despite the corruption
jigdo is reporting the image as correct after the final validation.
I don't believe the problem is with the CD burn, since Network
install with http protocol also failed.
Hope this helps anyone else who has this problem.

I'm getting an error during initial base install from a CD image,
"file: ... /gettext-base_0.10.40-5_i386.deb was corrupt"
CD is debian-30r1-i386-binary-1.iso, built with jigdo, which
claims it is good.
I've changed just about anything I could possibly change, and
keep getting the same error. Including installing from the ftp
site instead of from the CD. Same error. I've switched
cpus (one was a Athlon TBird 900, later I tried an Athlon XP 2000),
motherboards (Iwill XP333-R & Shuttle FX41), and even created
a new install CD from new downloads. I've tried to install using bf24,
linux, and compact images. Nothing seems to make a difference.
This install CD worked perfectly to install to my fujitsu laptop.
Anyone have an insight into this? Have I missed a FAQ someplace
that steers folks away from Athlon?
Thanks in advance,
glen
