Comments/Problems: There was some problem with the second part of the
install, after the first reboot, but I wasn't there to see exactly
what happened, somehow it rebooted itself and was starting to redo the
2ndary install again.  I'm guessing there's some intermittent problem
with the hardware.

I've been putting off installing Debian for a year or so now, but the
old Unix versions I'd been using were becoming untenable.  I tried
fedora, and rather liked it, but the most recent version wouldn't
install on some of the older and some of the newer machines.  It's too
early to tell for sure, but just watching the Debian install on 2
machines now, I'm really impressed.  Thanks much for the good work.
