Hopefully I will already have accumulated enough knowledge and skill to do this with minimum help:
Summary: Beginning with no Debian OS at all, and over the network, get a minimal install, and finally a full blown installation of `Sid'. Details: Its not so easy to see how the above can be done by looking over the various docu stuff at www.debian.org. For example: Under the network install heading one is suggested to get a `minimal unofficial' cd first and proceed from there. Addresses to get them are given, but all I see are ones with names like `woody <something>' So its not clear if one can go to `sid' from there. I suspect doing what I want is mostly described on www.debian.org but without actual experience doing it a time or two, it just isn't apparent. Once one has a minimal install that is capable of internet connection, then what are the steps to upgrade a system all the way to absolute latest `sid'? I'm not a developer, nor will I be of much help to developers, so that isn't my angle here for wanting `sid'. I run one machine (of several) at home, that has nothing but experimental installs of various OS on it. Currently: Sol 8 (intel), openBSD-3.1, `Null' (The beta version of Redhat). I'm a retired heavy construction worker so have plenty of time to mess around with stuff I `have no business' with. (hehe). I like to tinker with stuff that is mostly over my head, so in some ways I may become quite a pest here over time. The description above isn't much of lead into getting help, but it probably comes sort of close to describing quite a few posters here, maybe mostly in a somewhat younger age group, but still people who like to tinker with stuff they don't fully understand. Anyway, what I'm asking for is a general outline of steps required to go from zero to a full install of `sid', over the network. I'm equipped to burn any CDs required. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
