Well, I gave up, trashed the disk and installed 2.2 from scratch. Now I've been installing/configuring Linux since 0.12. This release really takes me back to the good old days. I installed about everything under the sun including networking but when I look at the /etc/init.d/networking file, there isn't a sign of a ifconfig statement. Where is the network adaptor supposed to be enabled? I searched all of init.d for it. It isn't coming up. Nothing during the installation asked me for any network values. I ran linuxconfig and it asked me for that info, but I can't seem to find where it put it.
I don't want to have to do a manual config for networking 'cause previous debian releases didn't have to be, so what did I miss? Dselect still sucks. 8( Navigation is useless. I recompiled the 2.2.17 kernel and I'm getting a rash of unresolved symbols when I run depmod. Any idea what that is all about? Thanks, Jim.
