yes. However I'm preparing an install guide for Debian, and will be
performing several dozen 'test' installs over the next few days. I
already have all the file. Loading from a local site vs. over a modem
could add up to a significant amount of time by the time i'm through ;)
anyway, I know how to work around these issues at my site, my point was
that newbies probably won't be able to...
