Unfortunately I figure this would mean trolling through the debian archive directories
to find all the dependencies needed for a package (source or binary) with a Windows
ftp client and then finding the required number of floppies to transfer it all across.
For things like task-xwindows-complete (or even core) this is pretty onerous, and I
need to go to xfree4.0.1 for the new nvidia drivers, which is why I was looking for a
cd, as well as the upgrade you mentioned.
Thanks for the suggestion though...
I love the Debian way, but without net connection or a burner its a little harder to
keep up to date.

Just compile the source packages from modutils-2.3.20 under potato and
install the resulting deb. That's what I did.
