Thank you for all the help.  I will try doing it manually,  but have had
to defer that project due to embarking on some hardware improvements.

I may even move that 17" TFT screen across onto this  machine, a 600MHz
Pentium III,  which I have found to be very reliable, and which has
three hard drives and a DVD drive.

This means that I can then use SuSE and Woody on the same machine with
everything equal.

Best wishes
