I have recently had an issue trying to install Fedora 8 on an AMD K6
box.  I have for years run some version of Red Hat on fairly old 
hardware, and it seems that my choice of Fedora 8 as a replacement
for Red Hat 9 was unlucky in that the original spin of 8 didn't support 
AMD.  Tonight I took a look at Debian's explanation of networking and 
liked the way it was presented.  I also liked what I read about Debian's
approach in general.

When I looked at the release notes for the latest version, however, I 
saw nothing referencing AMD K6 processors.  I don't want to repeat my 
mistake with Fedora (I need to purchase install media, having nothing 
with which to write cds or dvds).  Will the latest version of Debian run 
on a K6 ?  If I get a live disk, will that allow me to install over the 
Internet ?

Would appreciate any advice,
