I haven't and don't, John.
I asked whether it was possible for a particular download to have become
corrupted. I too have installed Etch on various systems without a problem,
always as a net install. That is why I think that if the problem is software
related, it must be a faulty download since I know that the software itself
is fine.
I know that a downloaded iso can get corrupted - hence md5sums - and I merely
wondered whether the same thing can happen to a net install. Since
corruption during download can happen, it would seem logical that it can also
happen during net installs.
