Oh- sorry, I'm installing testing. I want to load Demudi and it says that
I need to install it on top of testing.

Well, CD one doesn't boot so I boot with CD 2- I thought this was strange but
I
tested the images and they were good according to the MD5 sums. However I put
in CD 1 at some point. I suppose there could be something wrong but I
remember
a while back something about using CD 2 to get indexes so I figured it was
just
quirk... should I re burn CD 1? Now that I think about it the CD 2 thing was
probably before apt.
Please forgive my ignorance but I have just been really busy for the last
couple
of years. ( I switched from Red Hat in 98 ).
Since this module is in the boot floppy I suppose that I should be able to get
it loaded on startup, I'll go read the installation instructions.
Thanks :)
