CDs 2 through 5 each contain a different kernel flavor, but you'll still need CD 1 to get the base debs... Which reminds me about debian-installer: real pretty cool! Just tried it on a friend's ever-connected DSL ws wanting to switch from windows. Just dd'd boot.img and root.img on two floppies (yes, floppies ;) and got off from there. Thanks to the net-connect, and the improved installer, we got Sarge singing and dancing... Cheers, Zakame -- |=-------------ZAK B.
