Attached are patches to ddetect and netcfg so that "configure network hardware" will appear in the menu before "setup dhcp networking" or "setup static networking", since the latter 2 can't be done until the former is complete.
Also, is the "retriever controller" which will let you select your retreiver, as discussed in retriever.txt, started yet? I don't see anything obvious in the source. Also, do we have a cd retriever yet? If not, I plan to work on these two things. Also, the error I got before about "can't locate module net-pf-1" is still occuring, so the network can't be set up. Is this just a module missing from the initrd? thanks michael -- michael cardenas | lead software engineer | lindows.com | hyperpoem.net "Sit Rest Work. Alone with yourself, Never weary.
