later today I am planning to attempt, after years of using Slackware, an installation of Debian. I have two questions:
a) I have the kernel for my Slackware in its own boot partition, as this suits my hardware I intend to use it for the Debian. Can I take it that the proceedure for using the same boot partition for two OS's is to delete the boot file from the second and write the boot partition into /etc/fstab and then reboot?
b) I have the seven disks for Debian 3.0 r0, can I take it that I only need to buy the update disk for the latest version to upgrade to the latest stable version?

I'll let someone else answer that!

You can upgrade for free from the Internet after installing r0 by setting the package sources and doing: apt-get update && apt-get -u dist-upgrade
By "free" I mean as in speech since your ISP may still charge.
