How can I do a network install of Woody on an nForce 2 motherboard? I'm
guessing I would need to compile a kernel with the forcedeth patch. How
do I do this, if possible, with the 2.4.20 kernel (which is what I
generally use)? If not possible with the 2.4.20, could I have
instructions for whichever kernel version it is possible with?
I simply installed using the Knoppix CD (knx-install or something like
that), and that gave me network connectivity just fine. Once I was up
and running that way, I was able to install the nForce drivers as per
the instructions on nVidia's site.
