The hard way first eh? . . . mmm how about: The woody floppy install - 20 disks, and that is just the base system. Don't know if sarge has floppies, but I'm guessing if it does it will be way more than 20 floppies. You can d/l the floppy images to a windows box and use rawrite.exe from DOS to write images to floppies. (You really only need one floppy if the windows box is in same building or you enjoy walking, just write over it each time. :-)) Install woody (hopefully your h/w is old enough.) Get a cheap external serial modem. Run pppconfig -- enter details set up sources.list to point to sarge. get online apt-get update apt-get install aptitude (use Sarge's apt-get if you don't like aptitude) aptitude upgrade aptitude dist-upgrade and voila! Sarge with no CDROM. -- Chris. ====== Reproduction if desired may be handled locally. -- rfc3 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
