Thanks for the quick reply and the suggestion, Malcolm.
I must be missing something, however: How can I use the net install, when I don't have internet access on the new machine? I have a broadband connection, and it uses the ethernet device.
I don't even know that 11.2 WILL support the device. I should have been more thorough, checking for Linux compatible hardware, but I wasn't expecting ethernet to be a problem. Now I have six days to decide whether to return the computer. Hi AFAIK it uses forcedeth module, which should be there, you can always add the insmod=forcedeth on the grub command line. Don't you have a USB key available to just download a liveCD and burn a CD image?
