I see that Debian has a new release out, and I was going to try to
download the DVDs for the testing version. I tried to download the
..iso images from this page:

http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/we.../i386/iso-dvd/

I can't get the links to work. Is anyone else having this problem? Is
there just a mad rush on the Debian servers because of the new
release?

Thanks,

Scott Huey

The HTTP code is given wrongly. If your ISO-9660 contains HTML, view it in
your web browser and follow the redirect there.

You do realize that the DVDs for testing are not the same as those for
the new release, right? In fact they haven't been built since well
*before* the release. Use these:

http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/.../i386/iso-dvd/

Seems fine here, but you may have problems if using one of the many
broken download clients in other OSes that cannot handle files 4
gigabytes in size.

If you want the new release (Etch) you don't want the weekly builds.

You want, from a mirror of your choice ../debian-cd/4.0_r0/[arch]/...

You also probably don't need the DVD unless you're installing on a bunch
of computers on a desert island. Just grab either the netinst.iso or
CD-1, the rest can be downloaded either during or after the install.

Joey and Douglas,

Thank you for your assistanve. I am already using an older version of
Etch. I thought since Debian had made Etch the official "stable"
release of Debian that I would now upgrade to the "testing" release.

The computer I want to install Debian on does not have an internet
connection, so I will need to burn either CDs or DVDs. I am trying to
download the .iso files on a Windows XP machine that has a high-speed
connection to the internet. Perhaps it can't handle the side of the
ISO files. I guess I'll have to burn all of the CDs.

Thanks for the .

Scott Huey
