Installing on a machine with nvidia RAID

Problem moving Debian Etch onto a Compact Flash card

I am trying to build a small system with no moving parts. So I bought a fanless mini-ITX board and a Compact Flash card, with an IDE to CF adapter. Because the CF is only 256MB Debian etch will not install, so I put an old 1GB IDE disk onto the system, did a base install, removed things like

Can I use an apt-cacher to install?

I have a server which runs apt-cacher. I use it for all apt-get updates and upgrades on my system, but I have had no luck trying to install using it. I tried setting it as the proxy (i.e. using the insertion of the proxy bit at the start of the URL to gain access to the server), but that did

I have just completed an install onto a Samsung P28 laptop, which comes with a BCM5705M ethernet port. I was using the business card pre-R2 installer. I was using expert26 as I was installing unstable. The installer did not find this ethernet port, and thus I was unable to proceed until I had
