New Install Cannot Detect Network Card
Hi,
My first Linux experience was installing Debian 2.2r5 potato over a year
ago. It seems to me the installation process has changed.
I've downloaded the unofficial cd images of Sarge. I want to install it
on a Sony Laptop that is currently dual-boot Win98 and SuSE. I have a
Windows partition, and three linux partitions /, /boot, and /home. I'd
like to stick with that partitioning scheme and just have debian write
over the SuSE stuff, if possible.
But first, I cannot get much of anywhere in the installer, because it
does not detect my D-LINK DFE-650 pcmcia network card and asks me which
module I want to load, asking for its full path. I tried pcnet_cs
because I think that is the module this card uses, but I sure didn't
know the full path and I got an error. But, I get an error no matter
what I pick. I also am willing to skip the network card and just do the
rest, but I apparently don't understand this installer, as I cannot
figure out how to do that either. Even when I pick finish installation
and reboot. Some filenames whiz by and then nothing happens. There is no
reboot. And I'm back at the menu of 19 options.
I welcome any suggestions. Thanks.
Brian
