While I am fumbling with problems getting Debian to install on my

the hardware on my box (considering a Win2k Pro and Debian 3 rev.1 dual

Well, I'm using a SOYO KT-333 DRAGON Lite, and it works fine (though
the Lite doesn't have the RAID controller or the on-board ethernet
like the Plus does, it's a solid board but the only "extra" is the
shitty on-bard sound card.

(shows in Win2k Pro to be a VIA Rhine II Fast Ethernet), as well as an
Asus V8200 graphics card with an Nvidia chip and an Epson C80 printer. I
The ethernet should work (I don't think there's any non-supported
ethernet cards that didn't come out of some random trial run or test
batch for QA to pound on).
found on Linux Printing site that my printer should be supported and I
believe my Asante NIC is supported by Tulip drivers. Anyone out there
that can help?
Tulip sounds right for the network card, failing that ne, ne2k or
ne2k-pci should get you some half-assed support until you can the more
optimized (read: right) module (sort of like how the equivilent Novell
NE2000 driver works for damn near anything but 3Com cards in Windows).
Printer I'm not sure on the specifics on, nor have I tried USB
printers. If it's a parallel port or printer with it's own print
server (the kind you plug in to a network), it's almost gauranteed to
work in one form or another, if not perfectly, with fairly minimal
effort.
