I expected the iso to be a full install CD, since it wasn't I then
expected to be able to install over the net. Oh well, you did say alpha.
Anyway the natsemi module was in nic-modules-2.4.19-386-udeb, but the
modprobe still failed. I could switch to the tty2 and insmod it,
modprobe didn't work there either. After the reboot though I still
couldn't connect. The info I entered in net-cfg-static didn't seem to go
anywhere /etc/network/interfaces looked like it was set up for dhcp. Apt
would give a something wicked happened when resolving ftp.us.debian.org
error.

I did install to the 1st drive on the promise this time, worked fine
except when it ran lilo the default was this drive (hde) instead hda, I
saw the lilo warning and figured out the naming scheme for drives then
it worked fine.
Wish list-
1. It would be nice to have a graceful exit option before running lilo
to allow me to go back to an already installed dist and run lilo from
there.
2. Get the GUI front end up or work on the text system. things just
don't seem to be where I expect them.
