I have a feeling that if you try to install debian "over" an existing redhat install, bad things will happen ... the location of their runlevel files is different, for example. It may get very confusing trying to figure out what is redhat and what is debian, if you can even get the system far enough to boot. I may be wrong, though; I haven't tried it. -- monique -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
