I found Joe's website who described how he used the DUB-E100 to install Debian on his particular hardware. But I spent a fair amount of time looking for a list of drivers that the standard install media supports. My hardware is actually supported in the Linux 2.6 series, just not debian install media. easiest way seems to use a usb network adapter to bootstrap the install then deploy a kernel to support the on board hardware. But damn. Debian doesn't publish a list of supported network interfaces. And, for me getting a compatible network adapter is the biggest issue when setting up a new system. I looked for some considerable time in anticipation of an official list at debian.org Through trial and tribulation, I trod on, try and try again, Till the touch of the net Lights my adapter on... // George -- George Georgalis, systems architect, administrator <IXOYE>< -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
