I dont have a FireWire and I only have one NIC, and it is on the motherboard. I **never** originally selected any NIC, Debian told me that it could **not** detect my NIC. Then I rebooted and ran the install with: install interface=eth1 and then and only then was my NIC detected and that is the only selection that I ever made. I have noticed while booting tonight that it states "eth0 up" go figure that one. The only reason that I tried eth1 is because I had the same problem in Slackware or maybe Slamd64 once upon a time. cheers Phill. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
