I'm out in the country on an unreliable phone line. Do you know how
long it takes to dl CD1 at 2 KB/sec? Once Etch is stable, I'll get CD1
(so I have the manuals and hd-media all on one CD). Testing changes to
often to make it worthwhile.
If you want me to reinstall with CD1 netinst.iso let me know; also let
me know how to change the grub-installer postinst verboseness.
