Hi, i am new to Linux and would greatly appreciate some help with installing it. I have stated off with burning the boot.iso image. and have tried installing Linux with it. Booting into Linux is no problem. However me networkcard, a realtek, does not get discovered, I found out this is because my bios version is to old (99) and aspi is disabled. I also know that to overcome this problem is by running aspi=force in the command line, but because of the fact that use a cd, I cannot make any changes to files. My questions are as follows:
Is there a way to burn a cd copy with aspi fored to on?
What are the parameters for installing the realtek 8139 card?
My future Linux server is at the moment a win2000 server, can I copy the linux files tree to this server, boot my Pc using the Linux boot cd, and install from the network? The c: partition is NTFS.
Really appreciate your help!
