Hi,
I have two questions to ask:
1. The cpu of my computer is AMD Athlon64 2800+, which
distribution should I use?32bit or 64bit?
2. The hard-disk is of SATA type, and I can't install the system
from hard-disk(I don't have a CD-Rom). I have tried every method
Getting a cheap CD-R drive would be terribly useful.
to do this and failed. I nearly got despaired.
Please figure out a way to solve the problems. Thank you!
With a Sempron 2800+ (little brother of A64), I easily installed
onto a SATA disk using the Etch (testing) netinstall ISO.
Here's links to a multi-floppy install:

I did a test with a sarge netinst cd back when sarge was still testing,
and it did detect sata disks. I doubt it won´t detect today.
By the way: semprons are 32bit even in a 64bit board (my case).
