Yup, seeing as how Brad asked. Same as, I either use the Debian netinst for office machines or the old, but still effective DeMuDi installer for music machines. Either way it's a one-time install and I end up with a workable Debian system. Apt-get really does make upgrading a piece of the proverbial in most cases. I only ever compile stuff out of choice. This is why we put up with all the other crap involved with Debian. ;) -- cheers, tim hall http://glastonburymusic.org.uk/tim We are the people We've been waiting for.
