Hi Grant, Matt and James and anybody else that offered assistance. I finally cracked it. I had a boot floppy for FreeBSD. So I booted that up, loaded it up and then downloaded the drivers for a network install. I then loaded the floppys in order to arrange a network install. Debian detected my card straight away and promptly loaded a base kernel. It is currently loading an x-window and various bits of software! I'll tell you in the morning how everything else has gone!

Good luck. I can tell you from personal experience that if you stick with doing things the Debian way for a week then you'll not go back. I was a died-in-the-wood "I'll try anything once, so long as it's Slack or RPM based" (I had a very nasty experience with Debian waaay back), but on hearing about the new developments in Debian, I decided to give it another go. Guess what I'm still using? Hope it works out.
