If this is the Infomagic CD with debian 1.1 on it, don't bother.  
The Infomagic folks blindly picked up an incomplete, non-working pre-alpha
verision of the distribution.

I've installed Debian multiple times now and really like it, but it
is hard to find on CD.  I've got the old 0.96 version on a gold cd, but
the REAL 1.1 release is now available from a couple of sources.  

If anyone is interested I'll post that info.
