Wow! Thanks folks. The Debian users list to the rescue again! (-: (-:
Yes, I do need to do it in Debian -- primarily because the machine I want to use for it is a G5 PowerPC Macintosh and Debian is the only distro I know of that supports that hardware -- but I'm guessing that Ubuntu, even out of date Ubuntu, will be sufficiently like Debian as to be useful.
Due to the US Thanksgiving holidays, I won't be able to attack this until after the weekend. But at least now I've got a couple of places to read up on doing it, and a couple of people who have offered to help me over the rough spots.
The folks on this list are so great!
Rick
