I ran # /usr/sbin/base-config but this seems to skip the Ethernet config process of the initial install in which I hoped to set the Ethernet kernel module.
(1) So I tried rebooting from my install CD #1, to see if installer will let me choose the Ethernet kernel module I need. After rebooting from CD #1, I choose: - Keyboard, language, time settings etc. - Previously initialized swap and root partitions, instead of initializing them all over again. - Mount root. - Install kernel and driver modules from CD instead of manually. - Lilo is unable to install. Darn. I had installed Lilo onto Master Boot Record last time no problem. This is a deal breaker now! (2) Back to Bob's advice: man base-config Hmm, /root/dbaseconfig_settings (I think that is what it was called but I am typing from gray matter memmory. In anycase, the only file there.) is there but base-config does NOT go through the initiall install steps. Harumph. (3) I will try a clean install including reinstallation of everthing. Hope THIS brings me to the 'install kernel modules' step.. AHa! That got me back into the 'install kernel modeles' step.. I now have reinstalled everything from the Woody CDs *and* with updates via UC Berkely's http mirror. Hurray! Ethernet now works. (4) But.. I forgot to configure my monitor that time! And now X wont start. (Gnome started up fine after previous install but I missed the monitor config this last time.) I will start a new thread for that: 'HOWTO configure Debian Woody'.
