The CD set on the web site is for distributors, not end-users. To install
from CD, get a copy of the CD Distribution - one that's advertised here is
www.li.org. I've just bought a set from them, but still waiting to receive
it.

No problem. See the Linux+Win95 mini-HOWTO under /usr/doc/HOWTO/mini after
you install Debian Linux. (This can also be viewed online at:

This might be possible, but won't be easy and would still require a backup.
May as well repartition the drive and then restore from the backup's you'd
have to make anyway....

Debian 1.3.x currently "installs" 2.0.29, which is very comparable to
2.0.30. However, you can easily "upgrade" to 2.0.30 at any time because
this newer kernel is included with the Debian 1.3 distribution. (i.e.
you'll have it on the CDROM)
