uname -a: Linux localhost 2.4.21-5-386 #1 Sun Sep 21 14:15:10 CDT 2003 i686 GNU/Linux
Date: 2003-09-21
Method: Booted and installed from sarge-i386-netinst.iso using link and HOWTO
instructions posted to debian-devel-announce on 2003-09-15. Only snags were
during partitioning stage. Tried autopartkit but I didn't like the scheme, one
giant partition for my 40 GB IDE drive. Retried, this time using cfdisk, and
once I figured out the correct argument for the disk name, it worked fine.
Followed the rest of the HOWTO to get the base system setup, and then used dpkg
get/set selections from another testing system to download rest of the
packages.
Machine: Custom, ASUS A7V600 motherboard

Comments/Problems:
Excellent work people. Everything went smoothly. My only suggeston would be to
add the argument for the correct disk to parition when using the cfdisk method
in the HOWTO. For me that was: /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc.
