Debian is happy to dual boot with debian or Windows. I don't see why it wouldn't be happy to dual boot with Ubuntu. One of my installs has the default install of "every thing PLUS kitchen sink" ;/ It is just under 4 GB. >> >> [SNIP] > > I have live CDs of all the above except Debian.

But it will install without difficulty from either the 1st CD/DVD of the set or the LiveCD. With network physically disconnected, it will merrily ask about a half dozen network related questions which you ignore by pressing <ENTER>. It will then divine that [non-existent ;] network could not be configure and will present a menu including a choice to configure network at a later time. I'm in rural SW MO at the end of a 56k dial-up connection. Bought a set of DVDs and have had no problems when making reasonably normal installs. In pursuing my personal definition of a minimal install I've exposed a few bugs. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
