I have gone thru the install 3 times now. I would call it a mostly flawless install process, except after install I have no network access. I must be doing something wrong. This is a machine at work that I have been running a web server and writing cd's etc. I decided to do a clean install since it had just been upgraded all the way from madrake 5.3 thru 6.1. I needed to change some partitions around to be more the way I wanted anyways. In all the other versions the network IP numbers that came up during install were the correct numbers. ( the ones that I would have put in if they hadn't been correct). In the ver 7.0 install I get incorrect numbers for gateway and for netmask. So when I put in the correct numbers It seems to work, or on the second try I had it download some of the crypto stuff just to see if it worked then and it worked fine at that point. It says that it detected the 3c509 or the intel card that I swapped it with in either case. Then I get thru the install and I can't ping the machine from another machine on the network, nor can I ping out to anything from the Mandrake 7.0 machine. What am I installing or not installing that is causing this trouble. I choose medium security the first time and since that didn't work I tried the next lower setting. I can't check tonight from home but what setting do I need to check tomorrow to get this working?
