Comments/Problems:

Encounter problems in one of two places:

Either setup stalls detecting IDE-modules (80%)

Or

System stalls when installing the base system.  Get errors that the archive is no longer valid or that the network is down.  Suspect that the NIC driver modules are lost in the process of downloading and installing debian-base.  Tried installing 3.0 from floppy, but driver-4 disk is corrupted.  Unable to make another at this time.
