1) "http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/Debian-5.0/"; has the release files. 2) I don't think that you can point a netinst installer to "archive.debian.org". You'll have to download a CD1 installer - or try a debootstrap install. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
