Michell, Thanks for your response and pointing out the floppies. I was tring to do the net install with a CD. Then I decided to do a full iso dl (with jigdo), then that cd wouldn't boot...I think I'm going to go get the floppies...;-) Thanks for the pointers on the pcmcia/NIC. Here goes another attempt...
