My Goal: Install Nvidia nForce motherboard driver to get onboard Ethernet working

I need to use 'make' to compile the driver except I get the following error    bash: make: command not found

I googled the error and found I needed to download/install
GNU Make. After using './configure' to compile it, I get the following error    configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

I googled that error and found different solutions
A) download GCC
B) DSL already has 'gcc' and 'make' they are in a package included with it.

What should I do? I'm rather new to Linux, so if you could please explain in detail what I need to do, I'd appreciate it!

Ah, alright. Would Debian be more suitable?

Try Xubuntu or Ubuntu. I use Xubuntu cause i like xfce4 desktop. It's based on debian but is way more stable to me. I always had problems with things breaking in straight debian.

you can try the new gcc1-with-libs.dsl.

having said that, there is a problem with nforce boards with dsl. the graphics vesa driver and built-in lan do not like each other.

i would first try install Xfree86.dsl.

have you tried using an external pci network card?
