The problem is something else. When the basic system has finished installing and you have rebooted and logged in, what is the output of the command /sbin/ifconfig? Making a wild guess: what kind of installation did you choose, and is there a DHCP server in your system? With one of the older installers (no older than etch), if 'expert' was not chosen, and no existing DHCP server was found, then no networking software was installed. I reported this as a bug, but was rather tersely told that it was a feature. It may still be a feature today. -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
