New Hmmm. That machine sounds familiar...
Oh yeah. It's the one I'm typing this message on right now.

[link|http://www.mikevitale.com/1905s303.html|My installation notes from 2002] are available. I have since sent the machine back for repairs, got back a wiped-clean hard drive, and used the Debian Net installer on it as well. No problems (except those that I've caused, like spilling soda in the stupid keyboard) to report.

I've done just about everything that you've claimed to have not been able to do. Compiled Kernel. Used knoppix. Used Debian base and not-base (netinst) installer. It All Just Works.

New Yep, used those.
I get the feeling I'm missing some crucial point that needs watching, and I'll be revisiting it soon - was just looking for a "simpler" way to shoehorn myself in to Linux...
