<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I finally got Debian to begin the install process
by making a DOS boot diskette and running the Debian install automatically from
it. I looked at the partitions on the hard drive and found that there are
three partitions. That won't allow me to set up a linux boot and swap
partition. In addition, I have some concerns about splitting the large
partition. I think I saw a message here about installing a second hard
drive with some kind of switch as an option rather than splitting an existing
drive. I meant to save it but apparently I did not. I also know that
I will have some other issues relating to the NIC card as well. The
install process does not seem to find it. The machine is a Compaq presario
tower style machine. In windows, the item I find an item in the network
adapters section for an Accton EN1207d. Will I be further ahead to get a
different card or can I get the necessary drivers to run this card.</FONT></DIV>
