Re: moving from woody to sarge

["linux" <linux@networkingnewsletter.org.uk>]

you'll all be pleased to know that I've successfully got an operational
''sarge'' running with no hassle whatsoever (so far!) - seems quite str forward
once I decided to ditch ''woody'' -- the 250Gb HD and 1Gb Ethernet card both
identified by ''sarge'' so could partition all at once and download packages off
the Internet - impressed also by the GRUB doing the MBR edits for me. All in 
about an hour!

Now for the nitty gritty (smp kernel, making the display high resolution and
doing some work!)

Cheers for all the help, Michael
