I obtained debian through the idepci distribution. After a "devlopers" installation, kernel version 2.2.0 was up and running.
I then downloaded the source for version 2.4.18 and, then, configured and compiled this version. Both versions boot up just fine. I'm looking to work within the most recent stable version - at least until I have the kernel the way I want it. I used the idepci disketts to download my installation through an ethernet connection to the internet that uses DHCP. And here are my questions: The 2.2.20-idepci kernel image connects sets up routing tables just fine even though dhcp doesn't seem to be installed. How is that?l The 2.4.18 image that I compiled doesn't set up routing tables even though would seem to be running with the same configuration files Why is that? Could I have neglected a configuration option I needed? How do I look for that option?
