hello,
I finally got so mad at windows last night that I tried to install
debian. I have all 3 potato i386 cd's. Now my problem is this; I cant
get anything to work properly. First I cant get my networking up. I have
a 3com 3c905-C TX. Now yes I know which module to use, but I cant get it
to load properly. For that matter I cant get any module to load
properly. Only the basic stuff loads. This greatly upsets me. Also
similarly disturbing is that I cant get LILO to boot my windows
partitions(win98). May be I've been away from linux too long and windows
has corrupted me, but if I remember correctly, the primary slave is
hdb. I've told LILO that it should boot hdb and I've also tried
hdb1. Whenever I select that option it just says loading win98, and then
the entire system freezes up. This is really disturbing to me. I am
currently on a university computer downstairs and its annoying me. All I
want is some help with getting my network adapter up and running and LILO
working properly and I will be fine from there(I think). I would
appreciate anyone willing to help me. And before someone mails the list
telling me to read the manual, that is what I am most likely doing at this
time, but I was hoping that someone could provide me with a little help
because I was up all last night trying to fix this and I am not in the best
condition to be reading manuals. Thanks for any help you can provide.
