I didn't explain properly... Currently I have woody installed and I'm busy
downloading Sid -- as soon as I got all 10 images I'm upgrading from
Woody - Sid. Unfortunately I have to download the whole shebang from work
and drop them off at home (damn telephone network provider still hasn't
installed
my phone line at home). So I'm basically surrounded with water ;-).
