    I'm a dial up user who purchased sarge on a 14 cd set.

    I'm buying a laptop and was wondering, is there a faq or howto anyplace on
    copying the whole distribution to a partition on a HD? It would be great
    to be away from home, and if a package is recommended to me to just be able
    to log into root and run apt-get while on the road.
