Just installed Debian on a brand new Dell Dimension 4600. Was pretty straight forward except for the network driver (on board Intel pro/100) which only works with the driver in the latest 2.4.21 kernel sources - too new for the Woody and Sarge installer.
Had a similar problem with the Broadcom driver when I installed Debian on my Inspiron 8500.
If anyone wants to install woody (or unstable via woody) I've got some prebuilt 2.4.21 kernel images available here. Just add e100 to your /etc/modules you'll have a eth0 device. :)

Should be available again now, sorry about that David
Posted by: Marcus Crafter at April 14, 2004 03:21 PMHi Marcus,
Your precompiled .deb files were very useful. But I need your kernel-source-2.4.21 build files to install drivers for the Intel Extreme Graphics 2 card in my dimension 4600.
Specifically after installing the kernel using your .deb file, I find that the file:
/lib/modules/2.4.21/build is a symbolic link to /home/crafterm/2.4.21 .
Can you please make available whatever is in this /home/crafterm/2.4.21 directory so that I can proceed with my driver installation?
Many Thanks,
Mani
