I'm trying to get my dsl up and I'm told I have to get the ethernet card working first. Can someone suggest the program(s) I'll need for the ethernet card? I'm using a Kingston brand and I assume there are specific drivers, etc. for it. I'll sure be happy to get past all this ignorance...

Ok... I admit it. I seem to be a simpleton. I've been through the dirs and read all the docs and instructions and I've looked at all the files, etc. and I'm still not sure which files I use to create the disks I need to put Debian on my machine. I want to do as little disk generation as possable
