One thing i just want to know. I think i didn't make that clear in my earlier post. Sorry about that. The website:
http://www.debianhelp.org/node/3648 states that the openbsd-inetd package hangs only when a static ip is used using netcfg/disable_dhcp=true at installation(netinstaller) cd's boot time. If you install using that process(static ip) this package's installation process waits for an input. For this reason this hanging problem. So when it says: Installing tcpd(displayed at top of screen) a progress bar and installed openbsd-inetd(displayed bottom of the bar) if i press alt+F4 and go to console, will it be possible to give the input there(whatever it is asking for)? Can someone kindly confirm that? I really want to install debian etch. I think it is a fantastic distro. Thanks.
