The initial kernel config screen is for ISA and non-PNP devices which might cause hardware conflicts (it lets you disable devices). Newer PCI cards aren't shown therem but I bet if you do a "dmesg | less", you'll find that your NIC is recognized fine. Or try doing a "dhclient" and see whether you can get a DHCP lease. > 2) Towards the end of the installation, I get the following error: > "unable to get packages/INDEX" Hmm. Bad CD? Anyway, if you've got enough of an install to have a working system, you can always "make world" to be sure that nothing is missing. -- -Chuck
