Hi Todd, The computer does not have any type of networking, just ‘lo’ shows up using ‘ifconfig -a’. That is my problem trying to fix this. It definitely would be easier if I can use apt-get.
I have to type everything. So doing the best I can within a reasonable amount of time. I need to compile for 2.6.32-24-generic #39 Ubuntu. I thought there would be a general way to create a generic kernel configuration.
