Your system has a SATA CD-ROM drive, according to: | http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/inspd530/EN/index.htm I don't know why your Debian Etch network install CD does not detect your CD-ROM drive. Is it an older version? If it is, I recommend downloading a Debian Etch full install CD and trying that. Don't worry about the network card for now, I'm sure you can get it working. -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
