Hi Glen and Tom, et al,
I just installed Debian on a new system, using a 3-floppy set to get
started and everything else was installed from the 'net. It has speakup in
the kernel, so it talks all the way through the install.... beautiful.
As for space requirements, debian has always been consistently smaller than
redhat/fedora for a base install since redhat/fedora installs so much by
default.
PLEASE, NO FLAMES about "my-distribution-is-better-than-your-distribution".
Just my experience, for what it's worth.Debian's 'apt' package manager makes
it extremely easy to install 'just" the packages that you want.
hth,
