Yes: Since the hardware is nice and powerful (err newer) You might have some great success using either of these two processes: http://twiki.iwethey.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/DebianChrootInstall Or reference this post I made to this list a while ago: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/debian-user-200308/msg01080.html I use these processes to get Debian On VERY new hardware. -- greg, greg@gregfolkert.net REMEMBER ED CURRY! http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry Your teeth are as soft as liquid stones poured from an aquamarine vase of solidifying flesh.
