Even were that successful, the current debian 2.6.18-amd64 kernel does not work corretcly with the version of the realtek r8168 supported by the r8169 driver. Of dubious value is further information obtained using a Ubuntu Feisty Fawn alternate cd text-mode install. That install CD used a 2.6.20-rcX kernel, which supported hardware fine, and installed mostly correctly. However the logic in the installer which attempst to determine if an operating system is already installed (for purposes of making boot-loader installation decisions) decided that no operating system was installed, despite the installation of _three_ (3) seperate operating systems (as seen above), NetBSD, OpenBSD, and FreeBSD. I suspect the installer's checking routines are not tuned for this family of operating systems, but it was very disconcerting to receive this very wrong conclusion. (Yeah I should report to ubuntu but their silly launchpad thing wants a registration and then their misconfigured mailserver failed the graymail test, and .. blah.) -josh -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
