I tried installing Woody (booting with vanilla) and adding as an apt source only the first CD (yes I have CDs because it's an internal server and can't connect it to internet). Then I rebooted and added the first three Sarge CDs (because adding all 14 CDs requires too much time just to see if things works). Then I launched apt-get dist-upgrade. After a few question, it apt-get finished. Then I rebooted the machine. And... THE SYSTEM HANGS. It just write "LI" (maybe it starts to write LILO?) and hangs :( Don't know why, and actually don't know how to proceed. I'm thinking that there is no way of installing. Would adding all 7 Woody CDs and all the 14 Sarge CDs make the installation and upgrade process work? Furthermore, I need to have LVM management and this is further compicating the installation. RedHat installs with no problem, but I really liked to have Debian because I know it is better :). Only that it is so hard to install...
