Re: installation



I've had a DEC-Alpha with RedHat 4.2 preinstalled for several months
now.  I recently upgraded to RH 5.0 and found out how much I really
missed Debian (I use Debian for all my Intel machines).  I really 
appreciate your step-by-step instructions on the RedHat to Debian
conversion.  I don't know why I never thought of the separate
partition idea, but it is obvious once you think about it.

I especially like this idea!
