Thanks. Great, I'll try.

One of the problems I found with Debian Etch is the package repositories 
are no longer supported and the installer
can easily mess with those for Lenny.
The only solution is to have all CDs for Etch available and run complete 
offline installation.

I guess the NetBSD option is more up to date here.

Best regards,
