I've discovered one of the remaining few areas where Debian can be a real

even debian-installer can't match libranet/ubuntu/knoppix. Any tips on

Making sure that all of these are installed might be useful. Would it be possible to

I believe you might have to apt-get dist-upgrade when doing a change so
fundamental.

sarge. The Libranet install went great, set up my network, sound, X,

Next, I changed my /etc/apt/sources.list to point to sarge instead of
woody. Then, I did an "apt-get install synaptic&q

Installed Libranet 1.7 (2.2.14) some months ago. Most refreshing install
experience I ever had.
Their install docs a little skimpy but adequate.

harder at answering questions - fast - and properly detailed.

I am in the middle of a hard drive melt down and a hardware upgrade via
a clean install. I have lousy bandwidth and hence, prefer a cd for
installation. (I do have a base install of slink on a 486 that I
downloaded via floppies however)
