Hi Mike,
I saw your list, they are good suggestions (I have included them here for
reference):
'enter' at the title screen
'knx-hdinstall' will install a working debian system
ctrl-alt-F1 to F6 will give you a virtual workstation without GUI
0ctrl-alt-F7 returns you to GUI
http://PLUG.phoenix.az.us for technical assistance (register for the mailing list)
"UNIX Complete" is a good tutorial
What I had posted was primarily intended for an ASU audience, where I pretty
much assumed that people would have ethernet and DHCP thus web access would be
trivial ... but really Mike, including all of the information on how to get
absolutely everything working would be a bit difficult. Perhaps making sure all
of the HOWTOs are installed is a good idea along with including RUTE. Or
something like my command line introduction page:

There are lots of things that people don't know when they start linux and its
hard to anticipate what a given individual will need.
