   Yeah, like that Turbo Linux Workstation CD I got that the LBS. :-)  I
tried to create a boot disk image with the /dosutils/*.bat file and managed
to create several *unbootable* disks.  (Okay, so I was using some ancient
Novell 3.1 disks which are likely to have bad clusters -- but it'd seem
like *one* of them would've worked!:-)

   Have you read the how-to/install docs that come with Debian?  It isn't
really that hard.  As _Linux_Journal_ once said, if you could teach a
chicken to peck at the enter key, the chicken could install Debian.

   There's also Debian package maintainers/developers on the LUG list here,
so it shouldn't be that hard to find help or arrange an install session...

   There's a first mistake.  As with horses, never let it think you're
scared! :-)
