Other network cards are not an option. There is no expansion bay and the Ethernet card is built into the motherboard. The only alternative is a USB to Ethernet device of some sort. The Celvin is kind of a PC version of the iMac. Cheers, Brian Burkhard Ritter wrote: On Sun, 2 Mar 2003, Brian

I have tried this. It doesn't seem to work, unfortunately. The only alternative is getting a 25 ft. Ethernet cable and trying to run this through the house, but as I said in an earlier posting, this problem seems to be a Linux SiS 900 driver problem as Win 98SE works just fine. Cheers, Brian

The only thing interesting that I found, was with the "dmesg" command. The response was "eth0: Media Link Off". I have run into this response with Deb 3 rev. 1 as well. Don't know what it means one of the replies from the thread stated that it wasn't even in the source code! Cheers, Brian Rob

I checked Knoppix' web site, which directed to a page with "cheat codes". I gave the command "knoppix noapic" at the boot prompt. When the system started, I used "netcartconfig" to get the system to broadcast a DHCP something or other. Unlike the other computers on my WAN/LAN that I have tried

Thanks Robert, The reply from Knoppix was: "Could not find kernel image noacpi." I am using KNOPPIX_V3.1-2003-01-20-EN.iso. I have also noted that KDE doesn't load. On boxes with not enough RAM, a swap file is created and then KDE fails at startup. On my box, I have 500 MB RAM and KDE still doe
