I gather then that installing Potato from scratch via PPP is not
possible? So, I'm being recommended to install from the Slink CDs I
already have up to Potato?

I'm setting up Debian on a small disk PC, 1,200MB, not knowing what to
expect in the range of installation-profile choices I can use some
feedback, please. I'm looking for an install in the range of 100MB to
300MB, 350/400MB at most. I would need X, sound. Taking into
consideration that this will be my first real Debian install, meaning I
would like to just choose a simple profile choice, what should out be
looking out for?
BTW, is it possible to use Exim's RBL/ORBS blackholing with fetchmail
_and_ POP3?
