till today sarge never runs on a poweredge server. i asking myself, why the guys dont mix the testing-installer with sarge so sarge gets sata-support (dont tell me this won't work, it works). I have a modified sarge-netinst-iso but cause this is a inofficial version i don't use it for productive systems.

kinda hard to find :) the webmaster of debian.org should add three tiny links: a) get stable (sarge) here, b) get testing (etch) here, c) get unstable (sid) here. each link directs to the first page of "get debian" for each version ... very simple but perhaps to difficult for them...dunno
