APT sources / connection?

I got the latest netinst (31r1) and I burned it with Nero, but that doesn't seem important enough. Anyways, during the installation process, I get an error (which is at the bottom of this post.) I filled out the network settings to the best of my ability, but it's PPPoE, and I don't know if that's fine for this sort of thing. I have tried many different installation configurations, even changing how the harddrive is partitioned, but it's all the same.

I own a wireless router, but the PC that Debian is being installed to is physically wired to the router. For argument's sake, it's a Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router. Is my network configuration wrong, or did the CD Image somehow get corrupt, or what? Also, I do not have a name server, as I run my own network.

-----------------------------------------------------
Original Error:

No installable kernel found
No installable kernel was found in the defined APT sources.

he current default kernel package is 'kernel-image-2.4.27-2-386'.

You may try to continue though this rather strange error is probably fatal.

I don't believe there's enough information in your post.

Are you getting this error with the base install? That's the way it looks to me, if so I'd say ether Nero did a bad burn or you have a bad down load. Did you check you ISO with MD5 check sum. There is a md5sum.exe at http://www.etree.org/md5com.html that works with windows. If your using linux just run the command,

Code: Select all

md5sum somefile.iso

After which just locate the md5sum listed for that .iso whereevery you downloaded it. if thier the same then it's a burner problem.

I've use Nero a few times but I'm not a wiz with it so I couldn't tell you the exact way, I have seen a good Howto listed on one of these forms on how to burn good linux ISOs.

Nero seems to be a very reliable burning program, although some versions that come with a CD burner burn corrupted discs unless used with that exact piece of hardware that it came with. You are using the right copy, right?
