Since I am preparing to install Sarge - this answer caught my eye. Because it may make the install more complex. On the other hand, it may be a false alarm. The plan <was|is> to install Sarge on a currently empty partition, keep Woody operational until I am certain that Sarge works (I am still learning to walk in Debian) and share my /home directory (which is on a separate partition). This assumes that all my initial Sarge configurations are done as "root" and that I create a user and then mount my home partition into Sarge. While I have no problems in doing all this from the console, I had to tweak Woody before I persuaded it _not_ to load XWindows at boot. My default windows manager is fvwm2 and I load it - when I want it - from the console. All advice will be gratefully received.
