OK. Some of those were turned off. I cut on anything that looked like something I'd need. Recompiled the kernel and rebooted. What do you know, it worked. Now some questions, why is something that most anyone would need turned off by default? Why is it not mentioned along with other things in the install docs? I went through the install docs for those options needed, I don't recall seeing those. The only things I left out were the UEFI thingy stuff. I so dread that UEFI thingy on the new build. o_O Thanks to all. It running, apparently with IPv6 at that. O_O Dale :-) :-)
