I’ve come across multiple ways of doing it but so far the best way is the following (I assume you are on i386 platform and you have access to the net):
1. Download boot.img.gz from Debian website
2. Download the net-install image choosing i386.
3. Plug your USB drive into a Linux PC, open the shell and type

$ dmesg

Last few lines should be like the following:

sd 7:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk
sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] 4030464 512-byte logical blocks: (2.06 GB/1.92 GiB)
sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off

Now we know it has been mapped as sdb

4. Use zcat to load the boot.img.gz onto your USB drive

# zcat boot.img.gz > /dev/sdb

CAUTION!!! this will destroy the entire data on the USB drive, make sure you have done the backup.
If you get an error ensure the following:
- You are root (don’t use sudo)
- The USB drive it’s not mounted, if it is umount it before issuing the above command.

5. Now mount the USB drive and copy the net-inst.iso image on it.

All done! Now plug it into the box you want to setup and enjoy the old fashion Debian installer

I have been experiencing some strange issue with Adobe software, when I launch it, there will be a program called AdobeUpdater.exe will automatically executes.

This .exe will use about 99% of the CPU runtime and will not be able to kill it via Process Kill, which means a reboot is eminent.

I have tried two methods, one worked, one didn’t

I Renamed updater.api under C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\plug_ins

That didn’t work at all…

Than I tried renaming AdobeUpdater.exe to AdobeUpdater2.exe under

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Updater5

Which seems to work and hence this is a temporary solution.

According to my research, Adobe is aware of this problem so, I guess they will be releasing a patch soon…
