I know it sounds perverse, but I think it is a better idea to download
the net installer and go from there.

I have a GF3 and I regret buying it as I did not know that nVidia driver
was proprietary(and it is expensive and it is the noisiest component I
have). It is a BITCH to setup after each kernel upgrade. I generally
leave it with the default SVGA driver. :/

I think I could beat the post with my untrusty weathered copper surftime
2hr dropping diald bti connection as present. It would be close if you
wanted to install every package. ;) I got a 486 workstation going with
all it needed from testing overnight with bootdisks on a 56k.

apt-get into it !
