OK, fixed that problem, but, with "sarge", I still get the following errors (same as original problem):
modprobe: failed to load module floppy eval: 3: Syntax error: newline unexpected (expected ")") With "woody", it can't find my network hardware (Intel 82547EI Gigabit LAN controller). Any help with either of these would be greatly appreciated.
