Re: My first question on Debian
Thanks, all, you were a helpful lot ;)
The reason I didn't respond sooner was that I'd been busy backing up
my data, installing Debian, and migrating my various config files to
new Debian...
However, the most time-consuming task during my migration to Debian
had been attempting to install Debian with the Sarge CDs. After hours
of wrestling with Sarge installer, I came across a message in this
list that Sarge installer doesn't work at all...
However, Debian really rocks! at least for me, a 3-year prisoner of
those RPMs ;)
Thanks again, folks.

BTW: no need to CC me any more, I'm now on the list.
