Yes, and I downloaded the images via a Linux Slackware machine, so I could execute dd without problem. Fortunately, I had the PPP connection running (it's a Linux gateway with NAT enabled), so connection was no problem. Due to the NAT, after the base got installed (and networking set up), apt-get worked perfectly. > I have so far found this to be an impossible task! Guess CD installation > has spoiled me... No, it's not impossible; just a little bit tiring, because of the formatting of about (let's see, 14+3+2) 19 floppies. BTW, I did that with 10 floppies (so I had cycles of dd-fdformat-dd..). Oki
