Dear Sir or Madam, ...I'm sure you've heard this before, I can't download an error free ISO of either version of potato or woody. I'm using frontiernet dsl (509 down-125up) on a hp xt953 with a hp pavilion mx70 display,1000mhz machine with easy disk creator basic. I'm a licensed tech instructor with a good handle on the mechanics of the process. Different files are corrupted with each attempt. I can get it installed by using different disks (each representing a different downloading attempt) at the corrupt notification-a creepy enterprise at best
...then, can't get x to run, xfree86 issues, sound issues, display issues, modem issues-this should not be this hard, with a machine less than a year old ...ok, the ability to download a good copy (either ISO or jigdo) appears to be a myth, so my question is: if I buy a copy from some vendor, who, and where, and what hopes do I have to get an error free copy that way? I'm trying to avoid going redhat or mandrake or whatever... ...I believe in this product's concept, would like to help promote it within our educational system as an economical alternative ...my point is, if I can't do it, how can I ask that the person on the street could be expected to do it ...I guess I should look at this as an opportunity to launch my own version-is that necessary? I hope not. ...I truly want to participate in a process that helps break a monopoly and bring debian gnu linux to the masses, is that the objective of anyone else? ...any dialogue would be appreciated Hal Lingis E-Mail: HYPERLINK "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
