weird error during installation

[hasan]

today i had some weird experience in installing debian.

first of all i want to say that in installing debian more than once, 9 out of every 10 attempts ...

DEBIAN ...... FAILSSSSSSS miserably

may be its just between debian and my computer

anyways ........

i was really excited to get the new installer

with the new installer i was able to do net install of a basic system

then somehow i was able to install gnome by doing the apt-get thing

[ i did not run tasksel ...... i should have done it ]

then i realized noo this is not the way .. lets reinstall it

damn .... then the nightmare starts ....... the next attempts usually fails

anyways i decided to download the complete CD 1 of woody and install it

it installed but then

when doing apt-get install x-window-system

it locked up .... screaming something " insert Cd in cdrom " blah blah blah

i dont know why the hell it was trying to use cd since i also added http as a source for apt


rebooting and reinstalling fixed the problem but using woody iso it did not detect my video card and none of the ati drivers worked

so i went back to the new debian beta installer and did a net install

gave me same problems

wont apt-get from http

it would not let me do so

i tried it over and over again ...........

same error saying something like can not locate the cd .... insert cd

If you edit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the entrie for your cdrom you will be able to apt-get from http sources.
