Will do. I suppose the Slideshare.net when it seems to be ready. Still waiting for the university people to decide. It is pretty much ready. I'll send you the pdf so you can see my planned plug for DDL at the end. :) > Haven't done much else.

And I will try the "offical" procedure above. Seems likely to work. I did a net install of testing on a partition on my desktop. It doesn't have the whole enchilada, just the Gamine, Pysycache, Gcompris, Childsplay, Tuxpaint and the Potato guy. I'm cloning it with fsarchiver and will put it on the very old P3 and the P3 that no longer wants to recognize the CD. Biggest problem I had was getting Xfce to start at boot. Then I found out that Xfce doesn't do gui logins. Is there a better solution than installing GDM? It works but I really didn't want to have to install it. This is an improvement over what they have now. It's fast on a P4. The others do fine from the CD.
