Debian Etch "expert" install from network ISO results in Lenny install
 
Good morning! I need to install Debian 4.0 Etch on my desktop, which I use to develop/support a remote server also running Etch. I do not have the original CD-1 disk for Etch. Debian.org has only the Etch 4.0r7 business card and network install disks at:

http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ar...7/i386/iso-cd/

The "Install" option on the Etch-and-a-half ISO does not configure my wireless card and I haven't been able to get it running by tweaking .conf files. The "Expert" option does configure the card, but I must choose the "stable" option and end up installing Lenny (there should be an "oldstable" option). Is the Etch CD-1 ISO still available somewhere, or is there any way to use the "Expert" mode on one of the latest network install disks to install Etch and not Lenny? Thanks!

Solved it! The "Expert" option on the standard Etch 4.0r7 network install did result in an Etch installation and a working wireless card. The "Lenny" problem seems to be limited to using the "Expert" mode on the Etch-and-a-half distro....
