(No packets output, according to Ethereal on another computer) Second try I put in a Netgear FA311 10/100Mbps PCI card and it worked perfectly from beginning of install thru final boot. Although I have not tested every little thing yet, it looks like this may be the FASTEST EASIEST MOST SUCCESSFUL OS INSTALL of my entire 25 year computer career, Linux Mac or Windows!!! Kudos and thanks to everyone!
