All the Woody CD images I've found have been in .raw format. I'm unfamiliar
with this format and have been looking for .iso files. Is there a process
for converting between the two on a MS box? My CD burner doesn't become
Linux until I download these disks.

Doesn't Star Office come with a Database? I've never used it but you might

creating a generic kernel. In my current kernel ram disk is not enabled. I

My question is am I missing anything by cutting out the initrd phase of
boot?

Okay, here's what I did.
apt-get install sawfish-gnome
apt-get install gnome-session
edited .xinitrc and added the line:
exec gnome-session
Gnome is running on my Debian box now.

Sir,
My heart cries out for you in your plight. I am eager to aid you as best I
can. Towards that end I have opened up an account at my local bank (routing

$22,000,000 to handle administrative fees, taxes, and licenses I wi
mounts of data into a Point of Sale system but my version of ProComm is
Windows 95 only believe it or not. Don't want to spend money unless I have
to but if I do have to I want to know what other people are using out there.
Thanks and apologies again for being off track for this list.
