I didn't even hope for such a thing!

It works GREAT!  Thank you very much!

My system seems a bit unstable, and I got quite a few failures from the
postinst. The computer crashed while I debugged it, but after a reboot
and a few more tries, the postinst eventually succeeded. I guess the 2.4
kernel or old rubbish memory modules were the cause, the funny thing
being that problems only happened while configuring libc6 :-|

Now I'm going to have a memtest pass before I upgrade to sarge
entierely. I'll report when I do.

I guess it'd also be useful if I produced d-i images with your udebs and
tested them. Tell me if there's anything else I could do.

Thanks again,
