Well, not quite. There are some fine differences beween the two (e.g. ext3 on etch supports dir_index, some fine tuning and better driver selection/hw detection work better with the Etch installer, many rough edges have been polished), so is not quite the same. Also note that will have to change the sources *after* you installed sarge and that would mean extra traffic (if you prefer to install a full desktop task, the sarge packages will be downloaded, then the new ones will too). Changing before will probably not work due to changes in the kernel and udev. > I'll report back when the file has finally arrived down here, -- Regards, EddyP ============================================= "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
