dinstall on the rescue disk does the initial configuration of the network on debian systems -- it's easy enough, however, to just go and edit /etc/init.d/network yourself. have a look at 'man ifconfig'. on 2.0.x kernels you'll need to add a route to the interface yourself too, on 2.2.x the kernel takes care of that when you configure an interface. -thomas ...... please forgive my abrupt ending hre - but my conection is xtrememleyyhiclmelyey BAD hiccuppy etc must sign off - EF D8 33 68 B3 E3 E9 D2 C1 3E 51 22 8A AA 7B 98 umbra (!)
