The trick I've learned with Debian is to not try to get "everything right" in the first install. What do I mean by this? I mean picking just the obvious base stuff during dselect installation, and getting everything else as-needed using apt-get along the way. Sid doesn't have its own installer which means you use the main Debian installer and just add Sid apt sources, or you use something like Knoppix to do the installation. :) --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III : http://jijo.free.net.ph : When we speak of free Network Administrator : The Leather Collection, Inc. : software we refer to GnuPG Key ID : 0x93B746BE : freedom, not price. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
