AMD Athlon 2400, 512 MB DDR SDRAM (assuming the stick I am about to install
will play ball with the one already there), 40GB HDD (almost empty), second

Yes - the time is coming when I shall have to stop using Libranet. :-( I have
even tried to update 3 to Etch (on a non-critical m/c, of course) - but
