    Hello,

       I have just subscribed, so please let me know if there is an
    archived answer/FAQ i should be reading. (I found some but not the
    answer to my question.)

       I just acquired a 2 year old computer with Athlon 1800+
    motherboard, including an nvidia based NIC. I tried to install
    Debian using a CD that i normally use and, of course, it doesn't
    recognize the nic because the nvidia drivers are not provided. I
    then put in a 3C905 card to "temporarily" use to get to the network.
    But when i use the CD, the boot hangs and never gets to the
    installation. I remove the 3C905 and everything works again... of
    course, without the network! Argh.

       Any clues as to how i can install Debian on this box, using the
    onboard nic, would be greatly appreciated.

       Thank you in advance.
