Well, I got off very lucky first time around 'cos I had a fairly
clean install.

I used the sid .iso from 19 feb 2005 and have just installed and apart
from a small obstacle (/dev/hda21 not recognised - had to 'mknod' etc.)
it all went really well. No more libc6 problem ;)
Thanks again. One reason I wanted this new install was to try a much
lighter wm than KDE, which seems to use a lot of resource and crashes
from time to time. I've installed xfce and so far it seems blisteringly
quick in comparison. I'm itching to get all my other apps installed so I
can work on it and find my way around.
I never thought I'd giveup on KDE (couldn't get on with Gnome) but with
a little more knowledge comes much greater power ;) It's been a long
weekend since Friday night (of installing that is) but well worthwhile.

Harri suggested passing the noexec=off parameter to the kernel line in
grub and grub-install succeeded;) Aritz suggested downloading DSL and I
now have a grub rescue CD ... so thanks all ;)
