The new Debian installer to which I referred, is supoposed to make 
installing Debian Linux much easier than ever before.

It could be worth you trying it, although it is supposed to be a 
download of about 40MB or 100MB, I think.

Anyway, if you are interested, go to 
www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ and have a look.

I do not know alot about it, although I have seen a reference to the new 
installer, somewhere, as it being supposed to be much better than the 
previous Debian installation process.

If you have a look at the above web page, you have nothing to lose.

I wil probably try it, the long weekend when Anne is back from the 
conference, as she has more experience with Debian than me. We had not 
been able to get GNOME running on Debian stable on my system, yet, so, 
hopefully, we will try to use this new installer, as I said, in the 
long weekend.

Good luck with whatever you choose to do.
