Mid September I bought the then current set of Sarge CDs. I had a
problem installing Debian on one PC, so I tryed the install another PC
to isolate the problem. On the second computer, Debian installed
perfectly (single boot). I returned to the first PC and again tried
the install (for a dual-boot system), but I still get this error in
the "install base system" process: "Debootstrap Error. Couldn't
download apt-utils". Can you tell me what's going wrong and how I fix
it?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Trish

P.S. Just previously on the latter PC, I had a good dual boot system
of Win98 and MEPIS where MEPIS was occupying the hard drive I now want
to install Debian on.
