In spite of previous help, I'm getting nowhere. I thought I had solved this by using the Linux Format coverdisk Morphix, which installed everything, recognised the NIC - all perfect. Only problem, when I installed it to the hard drive, the installer didn't set up lilo, and the system was unbootable. In fact, it didn't create a /boot directory at all.
So back to the Woody CDs. I am trying to install on thinkpad 570. I use "bf24 floppy=thinkpad" (I think that was the unlikely-sounding option it specified for thinkpad). The bf24 because I use ext3. When I try to set up networking, I get a "Problem - No network interfaces were found. That means the installation system was unable to find a network device. If you do have a network card.... Go back to the 'Configure Device Driver Modules' menu..." message. But there are no relevant device driver modules listed, AFAICS. So, if I carry on with the install, I will again have no network connection and no way to ftp the up-to-date packages. I can dredge the cover disks collection for other distros, or maybe someone here can see a way out of this catch-22 situation? -- richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
