I have the ISO images of disk1 and disk2, as well as CD's, but I don't

Another Debian based one with a slick install is Storm. And, with
some editing of sources.list, you install with Storm (or Corel, I
assume), and then update to the full Debian.

WADR, saying he has a Vaio is akin to saying he has an "IBM": there are a

subnotebooks (like the one I'm typing on).
