Re: Installing Debian via floppy/network on Gigabyte 8PE667-Ultra2 mainboard
I never had success w/ the compact distro ... although, this could
be my fault. I have had much success using the 2.4bf 4-driver set
of floppies (rescue.bin, root.bin, driver1.bin - driver4.bin). I
had weird behavior w/ the nat-semi module for Netgear NICs before
I used these disks.
