ok part of my problem is that I have 2.2.19pre17-compact kernel. 'cause
that's the only image I could get to reconize my nic cards for a net
install.  Any way I was able to find the ide-scsi.o module and some
others that belong in the scsi dir but could not find the sr_mod.
Looking at prior posts I get the impression that i'll have to do a
recompile (always wanted to anyway)

I'm not finding much info on doing a recompile the Debian way searching
google Debian and the list archives.  Will the howto via linuxdoc
suffice? Or is there a way to do this with out recompiling?  I think I'm
only missing the sr_mod.

Thanks again.  Hope the above wasn't too much rambling.
