I had a nightmare trying to install Woody on VMWare.
After a few days I gave up. Never tried Sarge... at
the time I didn't understand the Woody/Sarge pros and
cons. Anyone looking at the Debian website for the
first time, will go get Woody. It does say "Getting
started" after all!...
On Sarge these days... Not using VMWar anymore...
