I have. Roger and Mike each gave gave me a PGI Woody CD last Thursday, and over the weekend I used it twice. The first install was for a development workstation which I wanted to run testing on after the install. It wasn't bug free, but it was a lot easier than installing from regular Debian CDs. It uses gnome-tasksel to select "tasks". There are about 30 tasks in about six groups in Woody, so you don't have to choose from 9,000 packages. The second install was for a server running stable. That one basically failed -- I'm going to wipe the disk and do it over using the regular CDs. The PGI disk really assumes you're building a workstation. -- Bob Miller K<bob> kbobsoft software consulting http://kbobsoft.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Eug-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
