Hi I don't know if this is an appropriate thread on which to discuss
this 
on, but the netinst Cd would not boot and I seem to get no response
either 
from the CD or when i typed in the speakup command at the boot prompt.
I 
have set the bios on my pc to boot up with my Cd drive, so I can't
exactly 
be sure what is really happening here.  Fedora and slackware, for
example 
did spin during the boot up and after the text commands for each was
typed 
in, but i got no response from the debian netinst CD at all, no spinning
to 
speak off.  Don't know what to do next.  Cheers!
