I have seen the names of the guys from lnx-bbc.org pop up on this list from time to time. Maybe they can help. I do see a debian install option on the their bootable business card. But I can't type apt-get / dpkg / deselect at the console prompt. I guess you have to install the package system first. What would be nice is to have a true-blue Debian version with the package system(s) already in place. -- Sir Isaac Newton: "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants."
