Thanks Frans and Joey,
This is my poke-around box until Etch is stable so I won't bother about
it for now. The netinst standard system install only takes about 20
minutes so I think I'll wait in case something changes in Etch between
now and it being stable that would make the system somewhat different
than if I installed RC1 (my current images) and upgraded.
On the other hand, if there wouldn't be any difference at all between
the two, I may as well start getting things downloading now (slow
dial-up) and beat the rush.
In any event, what a great installer you guys made. Thank you for your
hard work.
Doug.
