Thanks much for the quick replies.  Yes, I got my net-install disk to
talk so now need to backup all my data before I go off into the world
of Debian. <smile>

I thought I'd go and switch from Slackware to Debian on this box so I
can have a more current version of gnome and have it integrated into
the distro like everything else.  I was a bit surprised with the
isolinux menu because with Slackware, I just type the name of the
label followed by the kernel options I want.  So this was a minor
adjustment to make.

Thanks again for the help.
