Yes I do realize that you are talented as you all are.
But you must admit that you read my original report incorrectly.

Unless the installer thought that my TV Card was a NIC, that isnt
possible is it...

With Slamd64 I had to edit a file and change the "use DHCP=yes"
to eth1 instead of eth0. So it is a similar problem.

The real issue is that if I did not boot the installer with:
install interface=eth1
Then it definately would not have given me an ethernet connection, then
I would have thrown the cd in the bin and re installed Slamd64. In
the coming weeks I would have told people that Debian is crap because
it couldnt even detect my NIC. Luckily I done what I stated and then
Debian gave me a beautiful new world.
If you dont solve this problem it wont effect me in anyway whatsoever.
The only concern that I have is that I really want a lot of people to
move to Linux. After using Linux for a few years now, I know that the
install is the biggest hurdle by far. The fact that Im a persistant
person is the only reason that I have kept using it. I know that a lot
of people would not be so persistant and give up straight away, and
slide back into the miserable world of Microsoft.
That would be a real shame.
Please find dmesg output below. I dont see an eth1 present, hmmnnn.

Phill.
