Cliff, Linux press has a book that does a lot of what you are asking. It is written by Dale Scheetz, who is a Debian developer. It comes with 4 Debian 2.1 CDs It is much more than just an installation book, it deals with issues that anyone using Linux should be familiar with. The best part: you can down load an electronic copy for free, at www.linuxpress.com. If buy the hard copy, you get 30 days of email support. The price is about $40, but you can get it for about $32 on Cheapbytes web site. I have the 1.3 version. I like it a lot, as it is still useful, though this version is a little dated. Disclaimer: I have no connection with Dale Scheetz nor Linux press other than being a satisfied with this book and the distribution on these CDs. --David David Teague, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian GNU/Linux Because software support is free, timely, useful, technically accurate, and friendly. (Thanks guys!)
