You can try USB, but we need to know what modem.

The modem brand is Netopia, and it is a Caymon 3300+ Series, and im going to be using Debian.

It is a regular modem, and not a router.

Okay this should work. From what I read in the specs. The important thing is if your installing Debian is to use the testing ( sarge ) installation CD and not the stable ( woody ).

the installer should pick up the modem, but if it doesn't make sure you have the USB modem ( CDC ACM ) module in the kernel ( otherwise know as acm.o )

The cd might pick up the eth0 device for you if its working anyway. ( It automatically set up mine ) if not then USB it is.

Not to be mean, but for your first post please to not try interfeering with my question inless we have the exact problem.

The ISO you downloaded is Woody Stable. 30r2, We can try with that but Testing would be better ( as it has the latest kernel, and drivers ).

I know its jigdo, but Its very easy to use ( and quicker that downloading ISO ) Its the "testing" distribution links on Downloading Debian Offical tend to be better.

As for burning the ISO ( jigdo assembles an ISO for you ), Simplu go into your burning software and select burn an image file( Not create a data CD ). The default values are usually right ( they are with Nero ) and of you go.
