Anything you can give as advice before I start playing with it would be handy.

Until we have Firefox and Open Office stable on OS 4.1.
this is the only way

Quite a regular

I need some help installing Debian on Sam440Flex. I'm using the "Linux Debian Lenny net-install" ISO.

The installation gets stuck on the "Select and install software" part.
It stops at 1%

if I change to the "log console" (Alt-F4) it seems it is waiting for a "yes or No", but I don't know where to type that in.

Here the last lines
----------------------------
WARNING: untrusted versions of the following packages will be installed

Untrusted packages could compromise your sistems's security
You should only proceed with the installation if you are certain that
this is what you want to do.

nano base-files iputils-ping aptitude loging apt-utils passwd apt cpio tar
debian-archive-keyring usbutils man-db

Do you want to ignore this warning and proceed now?
To continue, enter "Yes" to abort or "No" :
=================

the install console (Alt-F1) only shows a blue screen with the install bar frozen at 1%, I tried to type yes there, but obviously without success.

on a different console I tried to look at the active processes, maybe I could try to kill a process and go back to the main "install" menu.. but I don't know which one to kill..

thanks so far

Just can't stay away

@Amigo1
Install with no network cable connected. It will install a minimal system. Then you would be able to install all other packages.

Thanks!
I tried the older install CD but I got the same problem. So I just installed the base system and manually the rest.

While I'm at it, there is another question: when I start the system, it takes 90 seconds from the moment I have seleted to boot Debian to the point where the Kernel starts to unzip. Is there a way to speed this up?

Is it possible to uncompress the uImage to speed up the start?

So far Debian works good. It feels a lot snappier than Ubuntu on a 2ghz Pentium IV. I love my SamFlex! thank acube!!

I don't think something can be done here. Take your time. You're not in a hurry
