Cliff,
Linux press has a book that does a lot of what you are asking. It
is written by Dale Scheetz, who is a Debian developer. It comes
with 4 Debian 2.1 CDs It is much more than just an installation
book, it deals with issues that anyone using Linux should be
familiar with.
The best part: you can down load an electronic copy for free, at
www.linuxpress.com. If buy the hard copy, you get 30 days of email
support. The price is about $40, but you can get it for about $32
on Cheapbytes web site.
I have the 1.3 version. I like it a lot, as it is still useful,
though this version is a little dated.
Disclaimer: I have no connection with Dale Scheetz nor Linux press
other than being a satisfied with this book and the distribution
on these CDs.
