OK, IMHO Debian needs to work on slimming it's install setup, or making
some nice bootable ISO images (small ones even, like just the base
install).  I hate floppy disks and I'm on floppy #6...  FreeBSD can do a
net install with 2 floppies.  Goeke pointed me to some debian
mini-iso's, but they were like 186MB and a month old... =P  

*grumble* No support for the built-in network cards (Broadcom gigabit),
so now it's asking me for floppies for the base system.  Not gonna do 15
floppies or whatever it is.  Guess we try to find a spare network card
and reinstall from the beginning.... *grumble*  Did I mention how much I
love Linux?
