    You might want to post to debian-boot instead of debian-user. Not that we
    aren't helpful, but that's where the the installer developers hang out.

    My first thought would be to try burning the CD again. You did check the
    MD5 sum, right? When I installed Sarge (Debian Testing) recently, my first
    CD-ROM did burn defectively, and I know it's not uncommon.

    Well, I found the problem. It turns out that I was trying to install from
    the 2nd disk :( I realized this after I posted. I am a little surprised
    that it did the initial partitioning being that it was the 2nd disk. It was
    my first time using jigdo and I don't know what I did wrong; perhaps I
    mistyped the file name.

    Thanks for your help,

    Raymond
