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.
