Crashed within sight of the finishing post!!

Everything appeared to work!

"apt-get upgrade" found what it needed on the first 4 of the 8 DVDs and 
ran to completion without problems;

Installing the new kernel, etc. worked.

The reboot worked.

"apt-get dist-upgrade" worked OK until I ceased to watch it and took a 
break (from watching).  I thought that stopping at the point where I was 
asked to insert my second DVD was safe. 

It was not.  When I came back from my break, I could not open the CD-
drive to insert the next DVD.

Total disaster.  It appears that you cannot interrupt the "dist-upgrade" 
and come back later. 

Back to Square One.  Lucky that my Debian Lenny still boots!
