Michael, Thanks! As soon as I loaded the module closest to what you recommended "natsemi-scyld" the installation said it was successful and the Automatic Network Configuration menu came up asking me if I wanted to use DHCP or BOOTP to automatically configure the interface. I chose yes, but the configuration failed for some reason, so I had to configure the network manually. Now, after the manual configuration was complete, I attempted to install the base system again. According to the instructions at ... http://www.debian.org/distrib/floppyinst I should place the following URL in the Download URL space ... http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/disks-i386/ However, when I do this I get the message "Release Check Failed: The server was unavailable or contained no Release file." Questions: 1. Is this the correct ftp location, and if not, what is? 2. Since the DHCP didn't take and I am not sure if my manual configuration worked, how can I check to see if I am actually able to get out on this machine? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
