I am willing to do this. I'd really like to wipe everything out and start
with a completely fresh install.
Since Progeny is gone I might as well work from a pure Debian
install and just stay there, no Libranet or other intermediary.

Hey! I looked in "woody-i386-1.raw.list" and ALSA is in there! Cool!
I am currently at 2.2.19, I think. At least I tried to do an upgrade.
I don't have a cd-burner so the raw file isn't useful here. :-(
I started to search around for info re. installing Woody, I came upon
http://www.gpul.org/ftp/os/linux/cd-images/debian/woody/
and it contained "PLEASE_USE_RSYNC"
rsync sounds neat? Have you tried it?

I looked at the digitaltux site, interesting but a little confusing. Do I
understand
correctly that I need to download three files to separate floppies before I
can
do the install?
Then he writes "you can also get my base2_2.tgz". Does that replace the
floppies or is it a stripped-down version of Woody? He is imprecise.
Also, he speaks of LILO versus GRUB. I have been encouraged to stuff
Win98se on the 1g of my laptop's 6g hdd that Progeny didn't format for
some reason. That way if I just-in-case-gotta-run-some-M$-junk-in-an-
emergency, I can ... then delete it quickly! :-)
So, should I prefer LILO or GRUB alongside Woody? (Note: I think
I will be wanting to use KDE versus Gnome, is that a complication at all?)
What does the "&&" in 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade' refer to, please?
Submit the first command and when completed submit the second?
What's your view of the reiserfs version? I heard it mentioned at the SLUG
meeting in NPR a couple of sessions ago but missed the heart of the issue.
Well, it is late. Sure appreciate your help. Will look for your reply
tomorrow.
Yaawn ... Doc
