Hi, all. I haven't tried the latest splack beta, so will download that. IWith regard to installing older version and upgrading....good idea, but...I installed Sarge, no probs. I then rebooted into my new system and got "File does not appear executable" at the OBP. Had this worked, then doing a dist-upgrade sounds like a lovely idea :-)

The only option seems to be a self-compiled kernel.
Unless I'm mistaken, wouldn't booting using an earlier version of Debian and then upgrading or netbooting also be options for at least the install? Cheers, - Martin
