Hi People I'm new on the list, I've been to a few slug meetings awhile though.
I am a self-confessed beginner in the linux world. I have a reasonable comprehensions in using linux but still coming to terms and learning the basic when it comes to sys admin areas. I am trying to install Debian on my server, the server is using an Adaptec 2005S AIC-7930W scsi controller. The woody 3.0 CD's I have do not recognise this and I am struggling to come to terms with how to create a floppy module or compile the driver it into a kernel. I found the latest drivers I need at http://people.freebsd.org/~gibbs/linux/SRC/ but after about 6 hours now haven't managed to get much further (quiet laughing only please, I feel down enough already). I have tried to get help on the #Debian IRC but only get told to RTFM, which is fare enough if your competent enough to understand the manuals. I'm looking for a hand to get me over the first few hurdles. If anyone feels charitable perhaps we could meet on IRC / ICQ?
