Michell,
Thanks for your response and pointing out the
floppies. I was tring to do the net install with a CD.
Then I decided to do a full iso dl (with jigdo), then
that cd wouldn't boot...I think I'm going to go get
the floppies...;-) Thanks for the pointers on the
pcmcia/NIC. Here goes another attempt...
Thank you,
Jason
