If the cable from my ethernet card to the hub (which is connected to an adsl modem) is not connected at boot time, booting takes forever because drakboot cannot find the network. If at that point I reconnect the cable, booting continues immediately. This means that if my ethernet card dies I can`t boot normally... HTH Regards, =Dick Gevers=
