I've been running varios distros for a number of years (starting with slack about 6 years ago) and never got into debian. It's about time I did. I'm a bleeding edge kinda guy, and wanted to play with the latest code. So I'm looking at sid. Sid doesn't have install disks yet, so I'm wondering what the best way is to get up and running. Do I go the woody route and dist-upgrade? Is there a faq out there somewhere (didn't find one googling or searching deb web site...) that goes over this?
My preference is to download the absolute minimum and net-install a minimal system. From the install guide it looks like I have to install a number of floppies (yuck). Has anyone done this using a minimal CDROM instead? DLing 650M is silly, but if there was an ISO (of any version of debian actually since I can dist-upgrade) of the minimal stuff (rescue, root, drivers, and base) that would be awesome. If you reply to me directly instead of the list I can post a summary of all the reswponses ala sun-managers.... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
