[wellylug] Thining about trying Debian again...

[Chris Hodgetts]

Thank you for that!!!!!!!

I was going to get it from ftp.debian.org , but was looking around for
an NZ mirror :)

I only had the 30meg version for the Install-fest.

Have to say , this new installer is VERY NICE!  The disk partitioner is
sooooooo much better, and makes life so much easier!
