hi there, i'm running a hamm system and would like to move to potato. does anyone out there know whether it's better to just upgrade/add packages or actually nuke hamm and install potato from scratch? it wouldn't be too inconvenient, since i have an easy way to store my /home and /usr/local, but it raises another problem which is that i've got a cable modem and my cable service not only uses dhcp for ip assignment, but has a special "logon protocol" (to prevent intruders from breaking into my house and stealing my bandwidth or something :p) for which i've got a perl script; can boot-floppies handle this? (before you ask, i downloaded a cd image for hamm, but i'd rather not waste time borrowing my friend's cd writer again and besides, dselect's cd method uses dpkg -R which is really painfully slow (or has this changed?))
