Yup, good job Enrique. One thing that worries me, LAPTOPS!

If not that would explain > why it didn't work (I had an ATI card as the default) Let's see: Depends: xbase-clients, xfonts-75dpi, xfonts-base, xserver-vga16 | xserver, xterm, libc6 (>= 2.0.7u), xlib6g (>= 3.3-5) I guess that means vga16 is prefered (or is it that you can't depend on just a virtual package). However, no suggest or recommends vga16, so my svga server eleminated that depends screen from coming up. > > c) bootable cd's and multi-cd installs seem to be the big questions > > APT v3 (http://www.debian.org/~jgg) has working CD-ROM support and with > some testing will be able to do the multi cdrom trick, right now it works > in a limited fashion (no disk swaps once started) Ohh, I'm looking forward to that more than the 2.2 kernel.
