I ask questions like that myself. And I take the
route you are talking about above as well. But when
you get into installing a distro like Debian it is
good to have other people right there. Then they can
see the error messages as they come up and help and it
takes an hour or so instead of days of emailing back
and forth. Then everyone goes for beer and laughs
about it. I'm not saying your way of doing it is
wrong, I'm just pointing out that there is also a
delightful alternative.
