I have put together a collection of .debs and an install script that basically gives you a running X without answering anything beyond the boot disk(s). 1. Install the boot and driver disks, install base via. NFS and reboot. 2. On reboot skip dselect, NFS mount .deb directory. 3. Type install.sh in the NFS mounted directory. What you get is a very bare-bones system ... Debian + X. I still need to fine-tune the package list but for now it works. The install is about 55 MB total and should give you X running at 800x600 assuming capable hardware. I have everything available at http://WeHave.Net/debian/ if you are interested. I plan to use this for installing Debian on 486s we have laying around here. They'll make great Xterminals. Total install time on a 486-66 w/16 MB RAM 20-25 minutes. Fraser
