[PLUG] Re: [PLUG]Debian install WAS RH EOL


Leroy,

Thanks for the offer.  I have been struggling with it all day.

My main problem is that my NIC (Intel PRO/1000 XT) is not being
recognized.  Therefore I can't do a net install.  I have CDs but they are
2.2.

I did install 2.2 and then downloaded the driver from Intel.  When I tried
to compile the driver I got an error about version.h being missing.  Some
addtional reading indicated that the source and the current config had to
match or it would not compile.  So it looks like I hve to compile a kernel
just to get this driver to install.

Am I going about this the wrong way?  It just seems that it should not be
this difficult.

Jon
