I'm currently running redhat 6.2 and have been using Linux for about 6 months. I have a cable modem and my system is an Athalon 600 w/128megs ram 15g hd 3com 905c-TX NIC In the past I've tried to install debian from CD and have been unable to get the 3c905x kernel module loaded. I figured I would wait until potato was released with the newer kernel, but now I'm wondering if there isn't an easier way, ie, ftp install. I downloaded the base image and saved it to a directory (/debian) and also made a disk with the rescue image. What I want to do here is use the newer kernel I already have for redhat 6.2 with debian. That way, I shouldn't have any NIC problems and can go ahead with an ftp install. But I get a little confused at this point and rtfm isn't really making it clear for me. Can anyone direct me to some sort of bonehead install instructions or maybe give me a step by step scenario of what I should do? I have ordered a book from amazon, "debian for dummies" that should address my level of expertise but it's not been released yet.. Thanks in advance
