Just had another thought on this, following another thread. Tried 'ifup -a' to see what would happen. Came back 'ifup command unknown'. I have tried both the CD iso image and netinstall iso image and network fails to work with either installation but both access network during installation. Surely ifup should be installed by default. I will try to download it from Xubuntu and shunt it onto the other hard drive and try and install it that way and see what happens. -- Regards Pete Redwood [EMAIL PROTECTED]
