Fwd: [ss20]cdrom
Hi, all.
I haven't tried the latest splack beta, so will download that. IWith regard to installing older version and upgrading....good idea, but...I installed Sarge, no probs. I then rebooted into my new system and got "File does not appear executable" at the OBP. Had this worked, then doing a dist-upgrade sounds like a lovely idea :-)
Thanks,
Chris.

Unless I'm mistaken, wouldn't booting using an earlier version of Debian
and then upgrading or netbooting also be options for at least the
install?
