When Woody was declared stable, an spanish magazine MundoLinux, sold an official copy of the distro 8 CD's.
I have a fast Internet connection and most of the times I install my Debian throug the net, but I liked the idea of having the 8 cd's with cool drawings on them. Besides that magazine donated some of the benefits to the Debian project. To the point... in that special number came a guide of instalation and new features of Woody. I found that trick on that guide. Glad to be of help. Chainy.
