OK, got it fired up, the solution was to install with eth0 in place, and setup the network, then, after installation put the second NIC in place and let kudzu find in but when prompted, do not set up the network. When you have a prompt, ifconfig eth1 up and then adsl-start this bought up the link but it seems the default route remains the one for eth0, so, I needed to ifconfig eth0 down and then adsl-start to get it to work. So next I need to get eth0 up againg without affecting eth1.
any thoughts? Kevin -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
