Hi Free, hope you're well,

$ cat /boot/grub/menu.lst

title    64studio_master_i386_080514,16:22, 2.6.21-1-multimedia-486

Install is beautiful and smooth.
Going to stay with the default install for a while,
then upgrade to lenny following your instructions.

Thanks for all your great work and time.
