First, thanks for the advice about how to get a shell instead of a KDE session. Worked like a charm.
Second, the box I'm planning to use as a server is a HP pavilion 503n, which has a RTL8139 Nic included in the motherboard. I've been trying to get the machine up on the network, but each time I boot up, the eth0 check comes up failed. After some searching, I found that I'm not the only one who has had problems with this particular nic chipset. The search finally lead me to this page: http://www.scyld.com/rtl8139.html, however, I'm not sure about using those drivers, as they specify that they are good up through the 2.4 kernel. Does anyone know how to get this nic to work?
Try turning off hotplugging, it has given me trouble before, i think with that chipset.
