That sounds handy. I'll do it. Too bad I can't run it before the
install so I'd just have to do it once. (Well, one less time, anyway. :-)

Hi,
I am considering installation of Debian Linux on an older PC - a Compaq
4850. I want to refamiliarize myself with Unix, after being a Windows user
since early 1993. I was a user of various versions of Unix for about 12
