I have 20 rack mount computers here that use an onboard ethernet card that MUST have recompiled kernel (and and updated driver that's not currently in 2.2.12 source tree). We didn't want CD roms in them... My only choice is disk until I get past the "base" install. After that, I can install my custom kernel and use apt to get ther rest of Debian. Are you telling me that because I've chosen not to buy CDroms for these boxes and chose a motherboard with a newer Enet chip that I'm not allowed to have Debian...? -- Darren P.S. Taking apart all 20 boxen to install a CDRom just for the installation is not an option. -- Please cc all mailing list replies to me, also. ========================================================================= * http://benham.net/index.html <gecko@benham.net> <>< * * -------------------- * -----------------------------------------------* * Debian Developer, Debian Project Secretary, Debian Webmaster * * <gecko@debian.org> <secretary@debian.org> <lintian-maint@debian.org> * * <webmaster@debian.org> <gecko@fortunet.com> <webmaster@spi-inc.org> * =========================================================================
