"Demat deoc'h" is the official way.
"mad ar jeu ?" is my common way.( " the game is good ?")
But in fact, "Demat" (good day) is new and exists in order to adapt this
culture to the modern world...
Usually, if you meet someone for the first time you talk about
generalities ( weather, children...etc).
The second time, you should keep on the conversation even several years
later !
But you know that as we seem to be "cousins".
My grand father was fisherman, he used to go to Whales.
As he didn't talk a word of french or english, he was using Breton in
bars to ask for wine "gwin".
Well, I think we are out of subject :-)

I'm still running woody as this installation is for training.
But I plan to upgrade it to Sarge.

I'll try that.

Mine is RevA (1997).
You seem to be right.
I really had troubles as I followed all the possible ways given by the
Debian documentation or this list.
As I'm not computer scientist, I read all the archives, followed all the
tracks...
Always asking me if I was wrong...when you are not a native english
speaker the task is sometimes hard :-)
But it was a real good technical and human lesson...and

I'm really pleased with Debian.
Thanks to all !
