Hello Rick,

 RS> drivers my system requires baked in?  Its the only way around this I
 RS> see.. Just as a note unbuntu installs without incident.

I wonder why it works on ubuntu but not debian? A different kernel perhaps. I generally prefer debian over ubuntu but the stable branch of debian can be behind somewhat.. maybe debian testing or sid would work better for you. I haven't played much with debian recently but in the past I usually ran testing.

For a server setup I rather like ubuntu also, so if you find that works for what you are doing that might be the way to go.

 Ttyl :-),
