9.10 may be very stable but it gave me problems freezing. That's why I 
went back to 9.04. In as much as the separate /boot partition worked for 
8.04, Debian Lenny and the first install of 9.04, I would prefer to keep 
that arrangement. As a last desperate resort, I may try a /, /home and 
swap installation. Of course if I do that, it will have beaten me.
