This is great to know, but I think I will not be trying it soon, as
I've learned from another reply that there is a newer version of the
Lenny netinst iso for which editing is not needed. I hope I can
remember this the next time I have a seemingly impossible problem. But
I hope also that the next impossible problem won't be soon, and I'm
getting old, and my memory not so good as it once was. Or, at least, I
don't remember it being so bad as it is, recently. ;-)
