[Cialug] Installation error

[chris129 at cs.iastate.edu]

During install, if it gets to the install program:
ctl+alt+f2
#hit enter if it says to
modprobe 53c895 

Then send that error into the list, or google it.  You always have the best luck
googling CLI utility errors messages.

If it doesn't get to the install program, then I'm not sure.
