-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 I dont know about your X Server (there are some great guides out there - don't despair, it never worked for me in the first run either) but I think I have a clue to whats with you network card:
The LiveCD has a kernel with all the drivers enabled as modules (or probably build in). The kernel you compiled yourself will probably not have those. Try this: Find out what kind of network card you have (Bo Andresen wrote in his mail how to do this) - go back and configure the Kernel - you can find the ethernet-drivers under Device Drivers -> Network Device Support - -> Ethernet (10 or 100 Mbit) || Ethernet (1000 Mbit) || Ethernet (10000 Mbit). Now find your card's driver (read the help-pages or search the web if you don't know it) and build it into your kernel (press "y"). Then recompile your kernel and boot it. You should see your card with ifconfig -a now. HTH Paul Scott W.
