Then the system rebooted and continued with either tasksel, dselect, or another option (I forgot which). I continued with tasksel, but no connection to the Internet was detected. Although network device was detected (eepro100 module was loaded with reboot), the /etc/network/interfaces was empty appart from the two comment lines: # Used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8). See the interfaces(5) manpage or # /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples for more information. but there were no interfaces defined after reboot. I added loopback and eth0 device by hand: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp and typed # ifup -a This configured the loopback and eth0 devices. Next I could continue with tasksel and netinstall. The complete installation continued without noticable problems. -- Benno Overeinder IIDS Group, Section Computer Systems, voice: (+31) 20 44 47634 Department of Computer Science, Faculty fax: (+31) 20 44 47653 of Sciences, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Boelelaan 1081a, NL-1081 HV Amsterdam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
