&gt; &gt; netinst CDs (<a  rel="nofollow" href="http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian-minicd/";>http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian-minicd/</a>) work very well
&gt; &gt; and I have used them in the past. I have also built my own for some
&gt; &gt; machines that the default install bootfloppy images wouldn't work
&gt; &gt; with. The installer team has been building netinst CDs for Sarge so I
&gt; &gt; would imagine that will continue after its release.
&gt; 
&gt; Check the header comments here:
&gt;    <a  rel="nofollow" href="http://people.debian.org/~blade/boot-floppies/cvs/";>http://people.debian.org/~blade/boot-floppies/cvs/</a>
&gt; then compare Eduard's ISO timestamps with LordSutch's.
&gt; I suspect either LordSutch knows something that he/she doesn't tell
&gt; others (wrt the debian hack), or he/she just doesn't care.
&gt; 
&gt; However, in researching this time, I do see that David Kimdon's
&gt; &quot;boot-floppies&quot; page has been updated to include only netinst ISO
&gt; images.  Go figure. ;-)
&gt; 
&gt; &gt; You didn't say you were looking for a network install disc, you just
&gt; &gt; said &quot;ISO&quot; :)
&gt; 
&gt; Sorry about that.  I did say &quot;net install&quot; but only once, and only after
&gt; saying just ISO, in my original text.
&gt; 
&gt; One other thing that I failed to mention is that I was looking for a
&gt; sparc version, I already have the i368 version.

&gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; Find me a clean (not suspected of containing a hack) debian netinstall
&gt; &gt; &gt; ISO image, not the full 630Mb (times 6) ones.  This single one is about
&gt; &gt; &gt; 120Mb.  It is an Debian Net Installer that downloads what you need.  You
&gt; &gt; &gt; can find floppy images everywhere... however you can't buy a machine
&gt; &gt; &gt; these days with a floppy drive in it. ;-)

&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; 5. One thing we can all agree on is that Debian has improved the Linux
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; community tremendously . . .
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; I agree wholeheartedly.
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; That brings the whole discussion full circle.
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; I'll throw this into the mix (coming from a Debian advocate)....
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Debian is a PITA to get started with.  Getting your hands on a good ISO
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; install image is easier than pulling teeth from a rhinoceros.  Go to
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Debian Planet (www.debianplanet.org) and search for ISO... you will only
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; find articles from 2001 and 2002.  :-(   Go to cdimage.debian.org and
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; try your luck (make sure you read the comments about the debain servers
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; being hacked and the state of the ISOs there).
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Once you do get your hands on a good Debian net install ISO, you will
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; find that you treat it like gold, given the difficulty you have in
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; locating a replacement. ;-)
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Once you have Debian installed you have nothing to worry about, there
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; are plenty of mirrors that support updates, etc.
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Just to be clear... I do love Debian.

&quot;All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts
pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted.&quot;
