Net Install for Debian - Help...

[Stuart Foster]

Great that works I now know I have a VIA card...=20
And I know where the driver is on the net, how do I get the install =
program to use it?

Sorry for the basic questions. Well I don't have to tell you Hans.

No. No generic NIC driver.

When installing <alt>-<f1> to go to the first text console. <enter> to =
get
a prompt. "cat /proc/pci" to see what pci cards you have. The ethernet =
card
should be listed. Load the module for that card.

Use <alt>-<f7> to get back to the install screen.

Google or this list should be able to help you figure out which driver =
to
use if it's not obvious.
