Hi Will. I thought you were going to plug 64studio before I looked at your

reply. I really wanted to resolve the problem on Debian Etch, and Lenny, but

will have to give 64studio a try.
iso.linuxquestions.org list it, but only the x86_64 version, and only v1.0.

Thankfully there are only 2 cd iso's, and shouldn't take too long on dialup.
I've just been to the 64studio site, but doh, it's only available as a dvd

download for 32bit, and I have a problem with dvd's, like no dvd writer.
Thanks for the reply. I'll keep looking for cd iso's.
Nigel.
