Debian .iso images

[George Harrison]

Hello, I am looking into installing Debian on my computer again (it's been a long time) and I'm figuring that my Debian cd is probably a bit old, I believe it was when Woody was still testing.. or maybe it was stable, I dunno. Anyhoo it's old and I'd like to get a new image cd. I tried going about this on my own by burning a business card iso (40MB) and the install failed twice during the installation of BSD Utils so I was wondering what to do.. Just get the 180MB netinstall iso? Why won't the business card work for me anyways? I just want a vanilla bare base and then add some packages and possibly run a webserver or something. I guess I'll start the netinstall image download right now, any clue to why my business card iso install failed? Beyond that: what image file should I download in my situation? There is no way that I am going to burn two DVD's of Debian when there's all the packages out there on the internet. Any ideas? Thanks.

OK, burned myself a netinstall image and everything is fine now. I haven't any idea why the business card install went crazy on me. Any prerequisites to installing from a business card iso?

Businesscard was wacky for me too.

Thats no help for you, I know, but at least you are not the only one.

Don't know what the problem might be with businesscard.iso, as that is what I always use to install Debian. I've used different versions of it on at least 20 or 30 installs, and never a failure yet.
