[Herefordshire] Debian install

[Andrew Hodgson]

Hi,
 
I have just got some CDs that Box kindly burnt for me containing Sarge.
The Woody set I have does not work on this new motherboard, and the
drives are not rekognised.  Anyhow I am running the Sarge install with
the linux 2.6 kurnel, thus am starting the install at the boot prompt by
typing in ``linux26''.  Anyhow I then get to the point where it does a
hardware check and it explains that there are kurnel modules missing and
I should probably use a Debian mirror to get the files.  Not good on
this 64k connection.  Anyhow I go past this and get to the point of
detecting my Ethernet controler, again it can't find this.  I can go
ahead and do the install, (it can even see the SATA disks!), but I am
not really happy about doing this at present since all the warnings I am
getting explain that the install will probably fail on reboot if the
modules are not found.  Does this error mean that I have stuff on this
system that is detected but is not available on the CD, or are files
missing from the CD itself?
 
Thanks,
Andrew.
