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,
Lorenzo
