Kevin,

It gave me an error. I saved it to a floppy, if you are interested. I
noticed in the README about the copying, but I was hoping I could get away
without it, as I didn't have the disk space (damn mp3s :-)  I guess that
was the problem. I actually made it past fdisk phase and was moving to
picking the packages (text mode). I tried the graphics-based installation
once and it died a bit earlier.

The card is a built-in digital with a number TC3509. It worked great with
6.1 and 6.2, so I haven't payed any attention to it. It's in a digital
PPro 200 workstation.

Link light in my hub shows no life.

Nope. Can't get to my server or other clients. Can't get beyond eth0. It's
simply an error I haven't seen before.
