Hello,

I'm new to debian, but not to linux. I've been using Gentoo for the past 6
years or so, but I'm getting tired of having to make sure any new updates
aren't going to destroy my systems. I'm just wanting a system I can use
instead of babysit. So I was going to try debian out because of apt-get,
and the fact that it has releases instead of having major updates released
on live systems.


Welcom to the wonderful world of Debian!

So anyways, I grabbed the netinst install cd and boot to it, only to find
out that it can't find my e1000 ethernet card...? Is there some kind of
known problem with this card and the netinst cd or something? I can use it
without any problems in Gentoo and windows.

Which netinst CD did you download? Which e1000 card do you have? Maybe
the output of `lspci -vvv` showing the section for that card?

Any help would be appreciated!

Regards,

-Roberto
