I was trying to install the Debian for the first time and ran into several

I would send this to installlation-reports but I seem to need a
running Debian system for that.
Can anybody suggests how I should proceed? (5) is a fairly serious block.

2) I saw no published checksums for the .iso files. I find checksums
are a nice confidence-building measure.
For example, with Fedora I download the .iso from a random mirror
but download the checksums from the master site. This has revealed
problems at least once.
Even better than checksums would be signed checksums.
I don't know where you downloaded the iso from, but the MD5SUMS and
SHA1SUMS files are in the same directory on the CD image servers as
the iso files themselves.

There are also files called MD5SUMS.sign and SHA1SUMS.sign.
