This "organization" is just a mailing list for users of Debian.I recently purchased from your organization a set of 7 CDs to install debian GNU/Linux 'Woody" 3.Or2.
Yesterday I tried to install the program, but cannot install the base system using the first CD in the package.
I first get a warning: file:/instmnt/pool/main/n/nano/nano_1.0.6-3_i386.deb was corrupt
Then I get an error: couldn't download nano
And I was then returned to the screen to install the base system. My installation will not go past the screen to "install the base system".
I tried several times to load the base system, always with the same result. I copied the first install CD and tried to install with the copy, with the same result. I think I have a corrupt first CD, and request a replacement.
Thanks

The Debian organization itself does not sell CDs (http://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/ - "Debian does not manufacture its own CDs, but relies on 3rd party vendors.").
You must've gotten your CDs from a third-party vendor, and it's that vendor whom you should be contacting.
However, since Debian is freely available in a variety of ways, there are alternatives. For example, see http://www.debian.org/distrib/
You can also use one of the other CDs; since I don't install from CD, I'm not familiar with which CD does what, but just try booting off a different CD and see how far along that gets you.
Alternatively, if you have a broadband connection (or even a slow dial-up connection and you're willing to wait and your modem is a real modem and not a "soft-modem"), you can install just far enough to tell Debian to install from the network, and pick up from there.
