Heh.. didn't look too carefully at the website (I never read  the 
"win9x phat-rpm").

The Woody installer is ugly but useable and upgrade to Sarge/Sid is 
painless with a fast network connection.  Unfortunately, since they 
ditched the boot-floppies design for Sarge and redesigned it to be much 
more cosmetically painful but no longer functional,  it is often 
necessary to use knoppix or similar to manually partition and create 
filesystems and then do a chroot install.
