RE: Installation: tasksel
On the whole I agree. And it's a much better path to actually understanding
what I'm doing also. I think either I burned these CD's incorrectly or
parts of the install are broken on this version. I'm betting on the former.
Any idea why the installation doesn't recognize my NIC's? I just installed
Potato and it missed them too.

Skip both, or rather, just install a minimal system.
Once you've got the system installed, use apt-get and/or dselect and/or
aptitude, to install packages you need and/or want. You'll end up
knowing what you've got, and lacking a lot of cruft on your system,
better off for it.
