Yes, but beware changes to /etc that may not be backward compatible.


I guess I could remove lots of things and then set sources.list to
etch and then install what i need but that sounds like leaving stuff

Is there anything I can do which will effectively reinstall the
netinst CD version of etch (removing anything else o/s-wise present)?

Its probably far simpler to just reinstall.
