I want a clean install because I like a clean install. It's just gives me a warm fuzzy experience. Acutally, I'm cleaning off this server because it's getting repurposed. Why don't I want to upgrade from 6.061, 7.04, then 7.10.. because there are some quirks. From 6.06 to 7.10 Ubuntu has learned a lot about package management. I agree, Debian's got it down... I'm hopeful that Ubuntu will stop being so creative. With 7.04 and 7.10 they seem to be heading in the right direction. By the way, Debian install went well, but now I'm having fits getting vmware installed... I'm half tempted to try xen... but only half.
** Update ** Got Debian going with VMWare. We'll see.

Getting off the point, but why a clean install? One of the beauties of Debian & Debian-based systems is that you should only have to do a clean install one. I think Ubuntu confuses that issue much the same way that Red Hat has done. The very idea that a distribution has a version is non-sensical...

No, haven't run it lately, but I believe it is good. This is a running server which I'm just reloading.I'm going through a Debian 40r1 net install now.

When I attempt to install, get to where it is loading the base on which it runs the partitioner. It gets to 21% and loading libc6-udeb and there's where it hangs. It tells me it's having issues reading from the CD-Rom and bombs. Now, I've tested the CDs, and they are good. Both the md5 of the .iso and the cd's own check process shows they are good. Google shows others having the same issue, but no solution. Any guesses? I realize I can go with another distro, but it's a little like talking a Chevy guy into a Ford... I'll listen, but I like my truck. (Yes, I realize Debian would still be a GM... ;o) I have installed 6.06 LTSP and am in the process of manually upgrading. This will work, but I'd like to just do a clean install of 7.10. Mike K.
