Try the Morphix LightGUI install.  I'm using that and it is great on 
older hardware.  It also makes and easier install for Debian, which is 
what it is at its root.  And I could help you since I've already been 
messing w/ it since the summer.  You would also have the help of all the 
Debian folks here.   Just a thought.  If you need a copy burned for you, 
let me know before the meeting or I'll just let you have mine.  Hope to 
see you Tuesday.
