What is the model of your hard disk? Debian 'etch' supports installing on any 
IDE, SCSI and SATA hard disks.

There are a myriad different ways to install Debian. See 
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/debian-installer for a list of images. 

If you've never installed Debian before, you should read the install guide.
The Installation Guide for stable 'etch' can be found at 
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual

Sure, it is OK.

You could send patches to this mailing list and we review and
commit them for you, as it is depicted at
