Meaning what ?? Ping ? Its own address ? Connect you to your ISP ? IMHO someone in here was right: module - IP - routing. We haven't had it on routing yet. > I have reinstalled Woody about ten times now in one week, Did you happen to try the bf2.4 option as well ? If yes, how did it go with your RTL8139 ? If you get this one running, you can easily go to Testing and Unstable with a somewhat advanced kernel. Since you don't need to touch the kernel, it should go with you. > so I guess one > more time won't make a big difference, so what do you think about me > trying this: instead of just creating a new kernel, how about if, after > I get my Woody setup running right, I change my apt-get settings to > "testing", and more or less upgrade the whole system.

Is Debian always this hard to install? Here neither (Woody, net installer) installed on my notebook (see elsewhere), ever. Now I got it up pretty simple using knoppix and its harddisk install. Pointed sources to Testing, dist-upgrade and here I am ... With a decent installer, Debian might have twice the followers. Easily.
