Comments/Problems:
Installs OK except one major problem, I am using a Linksys USB100TX usb
ethernet adapter that will not work right. It does eventually recognise
the driver, but many times fails to pick up the DHCP server. It takes
literally hours just to install the base system. Here is the message I
received once the usb ethernet is detected using the Pegasus II driver:

Controller is probably using the wrong IRQ.

Tried debian testing on an earlier version in 11-Oct-2005 image and
ethernet is detected and configured correctly. Only problem is that
testing has changed so much that I cannot get an install of off it. I
tried Xubuntu Dapper 6.06 and that uses kernel 2.6.15-23 .
Thank you!
