The best resource for new users IMHO is Bill McCarty's book which is online at: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/debian/chapter/index.html I could never get beyond the stage of installing the base system until I printed this book out and followed the instructions for setting up with apt. And I had a fair degree of proficiency in installing plenty of other Linuxes, including Slackware, at that point in time. Sam -- (Sam Varghese) http://www.gnubies.com
