I just installed Debian for the first time. I have two hard drives, one on the motherboard IDE controller and a bigger, better one on a PCI controller card.
I wanted to install Debian to the drive attached to the PCI controller, but the installer didn't recognize the card, so I was forced to ins

Hi,
I'm in the process of backing up a decade's worth of old files I
want to keep, burning to CD-R. Once finished, I plan to partition and
install 4 OS's, including Debian.
I have the CD from a book, "Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 Unleased", but the
kernel there is 2.0.36. From the reading I've done,
