I'm just curious, what exactly are these files? My own mini-Debian installer consists of the following files: base2_2.tgz basecont.txt drivers.tgz kernel-config linux rescue.bin [2.88MB floppy version] It would help newbies with a little bandwidth to burn if somebody cooks up an official Internet friendly Debian ISO image. Pop the mini CD in. Tick whether you want stable, testing or unstable. And voila, an up-to-date Debian system. Defenestrate those half-GB+ ISO's. ______________________________________ Virus scanning services by Mindgate Systems, Inc http://www.mindgate.net http://www.i-snapinternet.com http://www.pinoybattle.net
