eeek! Sort of rules out those on dial up where other people like to use
the phone now and then. :-(
I am updating this machine to unstable from Sarge, initial dist-upgrade
1d 21h ... on a 33.6K modem. Now down to about 4h33m.
Computer wouldn't boot after installing the initramfs-tools package ...
had to mess around in busybox with "run-init /dev/hda3 /sbin/init"
plus afew other bits and pieces untill it booted. Messing with
initramfs-tools didn't seem to help, but I remembered a posting about
yaird which seemed to help.
(yeah, I know rebooting is hazzardous to your health but its not my
machine.)
