It is much better (and simpler) to do a net install. You download just a small CD to begin with the installation and then choose what you want to install. See http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/ As soon as the system is working you can add packages as you need them. -- Eeltje -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
