Is there any way I can run the installation program or make the install
disks?

How do I get the names of the modules to try and probe them? modprobe is
what you are talking about right? What file(s) must I edit to do this? Is
there any way I can send you my current kernel configuration (or learn to
read it and make sense of it?)
In relation to ethernet cards, that a cable be "plugged in" to it is
not mandatory for linux to be able to recognise the card, right?

I think I will start a separate thread for that or must I continue in
this?
