I've been trying to do just this, but after configuring the network, I'm told "Network is configured but not activated", so I can't continue with the network install. The pcmcia/ethernet is being recognized correctly. But eth0 is never brought up. This was with a manual network configuration; it did finally work with DHCP (after I figured out how to install a DHCP server on my desktop machine). I checked the numbers I was giving it several times, so I don't believe it was just a bad configuration. In fact, if I remember right, I did manage to bring the network up manually with ifconfig. Is this a bug in the installer? Or am I doing something wrong? David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
