The only place I can find in France that has Etch DVD's available, wants
payment via paypal, and Visa. I have neither, only my local banks Carte
Bleue.

I'm currently downloading 6 iso's for Fedora 9 on dialup, and am not too
bothered about the time it takes.

All my current Debian Installs, Sarge, Etch, and Lenny, were installed using
my Woody 3.0r2 disks. I have a new machine, and don't want to go through the
hassle of upgrading Woody to Sarge, then Etch, along with the transition to
xorg again.

Could someone kindly point me to where I can get the base install for Etch,
including KDE. I don't mind downloading 4 or 5 iso's if this is necessary.

Many thanks for any help with this problem.

Nigel.

if you don't mind all the downloading, why don't you just download and
install the netinstall iso? That will give you a minimal system that
can be then be expanded through the regular apt system.

So get a paypal account.

Anyway, you only need the first CD-ROM of Debian to install the O/S.
Jigdo is the preferred way to do this: http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/

Many people are unwilling to do that.

Actually you only need the much smaller netinst CD-ROM. Google for it.

Well Ikarios have what I want, but only will accept payment by chéque
bancaire, and I can't use my carte bleue for paying online.

This is incredible in the 21st century. I have to write out a cheque, get on
my bike, and ride 20 mins to the post office, perhaps stand in a queue for 20
mins to buy a stamp (un timbre), then post it. 10 days later I may receive my
Debian disks.

I give up.

I have built a new machine, and have had problems with installing Fedfora 8,
Archlinux, and Kubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (7.10). Having got these distro's
installed, I want to get Debian Etch installed. I only have Woody 3.0.r2
discs, and don't want to go through the hassle of upgrading to Sarge, then
Etch, along with the transition from xfree86 to xorg again.

Oh to hell with Debian. I have Sarge, Etch, and Lenny on another machine, and
really wanted to see if there were problems installing Etch on my new
machine, where I've had problems installing other distros.

Debian Etch ISO images are available for download, completely free,
via the internet, just like those Fedora ISO's you are downloading.

I highly recommend you get the single Debian NetInstall ISO. Since
you are using a Dial-Up connection, this will be the fastest way to
install Debian.

On a side note, what kinds of problems were you running into when
installing other distros?

I had problems installing most distros on a computer I built that was
using a motherboard with a VIA C3 processor, which is missing the
"CMOV" instruction that some 686 binaries are compiled with.

Cheers,
Elijah
