Hi, I am preparing to put Debian 2.1 on a AMD K6 200. I intend to leave windows on a 6g HDD and have a second 2g HDD which I will use for slink.
Currently I have an ethernet 10 base T connection I use to connect directly to an ethernet PCMCIA card in an ACER laptop. No hub, I use a crosslinked cable. I works well in Win98 I am looking at 7.13 ``Configure the Network'' in the installation manual (which looks great!) http://debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch-init-config.en.html#s-configure-network > If you are connected to a network, you'll need the > information you collected from Information You Will > Need, Section 3.2. However, if your primary connection > to the network will be PPP, you should choose NOT to > configure the network. Does my current network count? Or would i be better to do it after installation. Will I actually need Linux on both machines to set up the network? I am happy to leave it for now, but would simply like to know if I can act now to avoid traps later. If I do need to set something up in the base install, is there somewhere I could get more understanding of that, Section 3.2 is not quite enough for me... it still assumes I know more than I do.
