Comments/Problems:
Hesitated what CD image to use, the smaller (40? MB) would probably have=20
been enough. Used the 110 MB one.
Bootprompt Linux26 did not work for me. Computer/screen froze halfway=20
formatting hdb2. Screen was legible, but had thin vertical bars (one per=20
letterwidth?). Something about unable to open VESA buffer. Made a=20
photograph if you need it. But it was "experimental" anyway.
So I tried kernel 2.4.
While the automatic /home partition is great, an option not to format=20
the /home partition would be even better. It was backed up though.
Taskselect did not work for me, (I asked for desktop environment and X).=20
I think some gnome stuff got installed, but startx did not do anything.
So I apt-getted package X and then "~# X" gave me the moir=E9 screen.
Apt-getted packages KDM&KDE, and then "~# startx" Just Worked.
Starting the X-server gives some colored artifacts in the moir=E9 screen,=
=20
will compare my old config. Size of screenimage changed, I used to have=20
a full size linux image, and a somewhat "shrunk" W98 image. Adjusted the=20
new linux image to larger on the monitor, and w98 is probably now full=20
size as well. So the autodetection on this point is probably better then=20
my handwork earlier.
Floppy does not work, I need to enter that myself in /etc/fstab, I think.
Restored /home from another machine.
I then "dpkg --set-selections"-ed my old programs. After pressing enter=20
I realized dual boot loader is now grub and not lilo as before. No=20
problem, lilo did somehow not supercede grub! Great!
All in all a comfortable one morning exercise, doing laundry etc, and=20
just occasionally returning to the machine to fill out some more debconf=20
questions (I guess that was the "many questions" option).
Great, appreciate all your hard work,
Boudewijn van der Drift

As the problems with the screen freezing is probably related to #250969
(formatting a 155GB hard disk with only 64MB RAM), there are no further
issues in this report.
Thank you for submitting the report.
