Re: Trying Again
Thanks for all the replies I got. They were all great answers, and
at the very least, helping
me on my way to learning Debian. I found that booting with the 5th
CD in the set was the
easiest way to start out with the 2.4.x kernel.
But now, out of sheer morbid curiosity, I still want to upgrade the
kernel. Now for the sake
of learning how it's done instead of the hardware necessity. But
some people provided some
great resources, and I believe I can upgrade the kernel now.(famous last
words)
SO, now that the kernel will recognize my hardware, how do I
install/setup the NIC?
Once I get that done, I am home free and I can start to REALLY mess
with(mess up) the OS.
Thanks.

Even more, when booting from the first CD, you can press F3 to check the
kernel
flavours, and pick the Bf2.4 by typing "bf24" on the
installation boot options.
By doing this, you avoid having to reinsert the first CD before
installing the
base system..
