I am sorry for being kinda vague the in my first mailing. The install program freezes when it starts scanning for network adapters, precisely when it says "scanning for eth16i." I have a Gateway 450L laptop with an Intel Pro/100 VE Ethernet card and an Orinoco mini PCI wireless card. After it froze, I passed the nonet option at boot and used modprobe eepro100.o, modprobe e100.o and modprobe orinoco_pci.o, but they all came back with the error message "modprobe cannot locate the specified modules." I even tried modprobe and the entire path to whicever module, but the same thing happened. I would really see what is wrong with the autodetect though, and prefereably use that as the means of installing kernel modules, but if that is impossible, I would then like to use modprobe. Thanks alot.
