Hello
I installed debian woody 3.0r2 in a partition, y booted with bf24 so I got Reiser FS suport, the problem is that my network cards arent recognised, I have 2 realtek cards that use the modules 8139too and ne2k-pci, the weir hing is that they dont appear in the modules configuration during the installation (or I cant find them) and once inside the sistem modprobe thorws me some error about "can't find lib/modules/2.6.7" or something like that and insmod doesnt seem to work either
I also had the intention of recompiling the kernel to guive suppot to my cards, but when I run make menuconfig it givems me an error about Ncurses missing or something like that, anda acording to apt-get I have all the ncurses stuff installed
this is really weird
could the problem be that its sharing the swap with my slackware main partition o asomething like that? because I just dont get it

insert cd1, boot with bf24, partition, choose reiserfs, follow this instructions:

i use the same driver, it comes with the kernel

after the installation you can dist-upgrade to sarge or sid.

For more info, repost here, or go to the #linuxnewbie channel in the IRC (Freenode server).

yeah, thats the way I installed it, except that I did the modules configuration part after step 6.1 ,should I skip it?, the strange thing is that the modules I need dont appear on the list

you can do the modules with modconf after the installation, but that particular one 8139too is so common, it comes with the kernel, no need to install.

I finalley got it working, I just skipped the modules configuration during installation and y upgraded to SID, everything works fine now and all tha I can say is THIS TOTALLY ROX!!!!,
I-ve heard that apt-get was cool, but its awesome!!!
y can do the same as with slack but with a great package managment that gets me everything I need

thanks!!!
