Glad to help Sharrea. The one quick advantage that the netinst gives you is that its fast to download (around 120 MB) the iso and it does give you a minimal installed functional Etch system. You would know if the hardware works prior to getting the DVD. Also, since its testing, until release the DVD files will keep changing. Also note that once you have the netinst system running, instead of having to install the rest from the net, you could point apt at your DVD instead. Its the best of both worlds. Either way, good luck on the 590. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
