Read the posts that went before and then read the last paragraph of my post.
In context, my remarks were on-topic.
You might also take the time to read the posts which were instigated by this
thread -- all expressing uncertainties about Fedora installation (in context
of other OS installations).

It's entirely possible your comments were not seen because you don't
bottom post. It's much easier to read threads done that way.
You telling me I can't use the word Dxxxxn here without arousing a list cop's
sniping?
I don't know who sniped at you, but this _is_ a Fedora list--not a
Debian list. I can sort of understand people getting upset with the
introduction of a different distribution than that under discussion.

As a trial I ordered the Debian CDs (Woody, not Sarge) and gave the

This is really offtopic, so it doesn't need and probably shouldn't get a
reply, but I've found the best way to get Debian installed to order or
download the single-CDROM Knoppix; it's a repackaged Debian, and once
it's installed you've got a debian desktop system and can install
anything debian-like.
