Hi Hugo, Here are my exact steps....
I boot from iso disk 1 to start the install process. The base system installs ok and reboots After reboot I get the configuration menu screen. I set time, configure apt and such... Then I choose "select packages to install" and that is when the install hangs. It just sits there doing nothing. No other screens appear. I manualy reboot the machine and this time I go directly to the shell as root and try to manully do things like... Run apt-setup which works I then type tasksel so I can select some packages to install. This works and I select a couple of packages. However when I select finish it asks for disk 1. I put disk 1 in and hit enter. It does not read the disk and asks me again to insert disk 1. Thanks for your help, Joe -----Original Message----- From: hugo vanwoerkom [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 02, 2004 10:35 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Problem installing Sarge from ISO images Galicic, Joseph R. wrote: > I'm having a problem installing Sarge with ISO images.

He scans the CD's, you put in all 5 of them, one at a time. Then he asks you whether you want to run tasksel, or whatever, what do you say? Does he install packages? Do you ever get: "Thank you for choosing Debian"?

You mean he says "Insert CD#1", you do so, he reads it, and says "Insert CD#1" again, or he keeps saying it without reading the CD? Any ideas > what I am doing wrong. Is the Sarge installer broken?
