Fortunately both distributions have much better ways of installing these days. Yesterday we held an installfest at my university, where we installed several Debian pre-2.0s, some 1.3.1s, some RedHat 5.0s and even a FreeBSD 2.2.5, and didn't need anything more than the boot disk for any of these. hamish -- Hamish Moffatt, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Debian packages at ftp://ftp.rising.com.au/pub/hamish.
