OK Touche - Still not upgrading but doing a clean install. My
understanding was that Xfce4 was default on CDs, only because of space
limitations - this was a net install. As it was Xfce4 was a strange
looking beast, had a hard time finding anything to configure the
network. Thankfully I'm not new to the cli.
My point is though - How could a new user to Debian (say from Windows)
been expected to know how to get WiFi going?
