    Did you _read_ the message?

    Now I'll admit it was a bit rambling as my frustration level is quite high. I
    did mention that I trashed a working portion using the Knoppix 3.7 CD to
    attempt to reinstall. BTW it does support installing a vanilla Debian system,
    in case you don't know.

    But the question to the list is what to use to install a Debian unstable
    system, that "blessed" by Debian.
