I finally figured some of this out on my own. There were several other modules that I needed (isofs, nfs, lp, etc.. as in 0.93R6). In general, I think the beta 1.1 installation lacks severely in this regard. There is an item on the menu to add the modules. However, it does not run correctly and gives a ton of error messages saying it cannot find the /etc/modules file (when it is there!), and will not allow the installation to continue. This is why I never had the opportunity to tell the installation procedure what modules to load (I discovered this after I fixed the problem and was wondering if I missed something along the way. It seems the 'recommended' next step at the top of the 1.1 installation never recommends to add the modules!!!). I hope this gets fixed before official release of 1.1. -- /------------------------------------------------------------------\ | James D.
