Jim,
I am a little confused---you tried to install a module so that you would have net access? Therefore, you do have a physical connection available?
If so, you can probably burn and use a net-install CD and let debian-installer find and configure your net access on its own, it is very good at that, perhaps prompting you for some information during the install.
If you do not have a physical connection, you can burn a stand-alone CD install.

It installs OK but the installer REALLY wants to access the net. In order for that to happen I have to install ndiswrapper. In order for that to happen I need the kernel headers which I -think- are not installed. The installer doesn't ask if Kernel stuff is to be installed so I assume I have to get them from the net. I tried copying over the ndiswrapper module from Fedora but insmod knows that its from the wrong kernel. The installer assumes there is a working net connection during install, not true in my case. Basically I need the net to give myself access to the net. How can I break out of this chicken/egg situation? regards Jim Bean
