I didn't had the Debian CD, so I was stuck with the FTP install. I downloaded the base tar file (base_2.2.tgz???) and untarred it on my new Debian root partition (which was mounted on my RedHat system). I then booted with the installation boot floppies and configured that base (small, limited) Debian system. After that, it was enough to use dselect to install all the packages I wanted)... I like this method of installation. :) Anyhow, you can find somewhere on the Debian website (www.debian.org) the Debian Installation Guide. I was somewhat confused by it, but managed to survive. I am now the happy user of a Debian system... :) Regards, sena... -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://decoy.ath.cx/~sena/ gpg fingerprint: F20B 12A8 A8F6 FD1F 9B1D BA62 C424 8E73 DD2E 47C8
