I was realy surprised in beginning of this year as Laila (15 years)
called me in Strasbourg and told me that Anne-Sophie (6 years) had
killed her proper installed with backports flooded Woddy installation
after a dist-upgrade.

Angry she had inserted the Sarge CD and pressed <ENTER>...

1-2 hours later she had a full Debian System... but WDM was missing
and since she know "startx" had her system back.

One thing I know is, how he had mounted the FileServer (NFS) where
the /home is.

OK, now I have created my OWN Debian-Custom-CD and if there goes
something wrong, she can install the same system from scratch.

But it is only ONE <ENTER> after the CD has started.

This is, why I love Debian. - It just works (except ALSA).

This would be a very good solution.

I was already trying to run a Linux-Image from LOADLIN.EXE, but failed.
I put it into the BOOT.INI of Windows so I can select between WIN and
LIN but there is something missing.  Oh, the image has a bootsector.
