Thanks Chuck.
It's strange that it can't even find the Ethernet controller.
When I do a 'setup' from the command prompt to look at the network
settings, it's not there. If I attach the TrendNet Ethernet dongle and
reboot and go back into setup, it sees that one but not the built-in
one. And for some strange reason with DHCP or static IP the system will
not continue to load.
I would assume (maybe a bad idea) that the ACID distro on the site is
the latest and hasn't been updated in a while?
I downloaded it a few months ago when I was building 27616. Maybe I need
to d/l the latest version.
Thanks for your help.
