Debian Install failure: Hash Sum Mismatch

[Joseph Reeves]

Thanks Arne,

This all happens when running the install script, however, so unless
I'm being particularly dense, I never have the option to run the apt-
commands myself; it just tries and fails.

I'm using the 512 card that shipped with the gta01. I think it's the
same as the one that came with the FreeRunner, although I lost that
one whilst drunk in a Chicken Cottage (it was in my wallet after I had
removed it from the phone to fix the GPS troubles).

I'll try with a different card.

Cheers,

Joseph
