The netinst Sarge you have is bootable using the following command line at the
boot prompt:
speakup26 speakup_synth=dectlk
As far as I know, there is no time limit on the Speakup-modified Debian boot
prompt, so just type that command line when your CD stops spinning.
This version does support Realtek network cards, as that is the card in my
computer.
I personally found the Debian installer for Sarge to be a little easier to deal
with than Fedora; Your mileage may vary.
The easiest way to install Debian is to install the base system only and then
apt-get install anything you need that you don't have as you need it. That way
if you don't want x you don't get it. This is different from Fedora, where the
best course of action seemed to be to just install everything and then change
the runlevel later.
HTH,

Q: Why is Poland just like the United States?
A: In the United States you can't buy anything for zlotys and in
Poland you can't either, while in the U.S. you can get whatever
you want for dollars, just as you can in Poland.
