-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Thanks much for the quick replies. Yes, I got my net-install disk to talk so now need to backup all my data before I go off into the world of Debian. <smile> I thought I'd go and switch from Slackware to Debian on this box so I can have a more current version of gnome and have it integrated into the distro like everything else. I was a bit surprised with the isolinux menu because with Slackware, I just type the name of the label followed by the kernel options I want. So this was a minor adjustment to make. Thanks again for the help.
