Alternatively, if you already have the woody netinst ISO, you can use
it and then after your base is installed, you can edit
/etc/apt/sources.list to use 'testing' (or 'sarge' depending on how
you want your system to bleed) and do a dist-upgrade.
What do you think the amount date (in MB) downloaded by dist-upgrade
will be if I had to install gnome, xfce, gimp, emacs, firefox,
thunderbird, ... (I need to calculate before hand as I am on dialup)
.... and it will take sometime to "arrive" at the apt-get update;
apt-get upgrade frequency that matches your enthusiasm level and your
bandwidth availability. :)
Again, how much will apt-get update take? (assuming an update per
week frequency)
