I got the same message after installing a Woody set of CDs (from October) from scratch. Part of the problem was that the network configuration does not take place, if the dbootstrap does not find a network card. I have a laptop, and the pcmcia card is not supported in the boot CD kernels (2.2.19). After running "dpkg-reconfigure netbase" the loopback device seems to be set up right again, but even after installing the 2.4.12 kernel or after recompiling the kernel with the ne2000 pcmcia card enabled, I cannot access the network. I suppose the /etc/pcmcia/network stuff is not configured right, but it will take me some time to understand that all ... Suggestions: please put a readme file into any new created home directory, with the pointers to how to reconfigure anything the that was supposed to get configured during installation. It took me two evenings to figure out the "dpkg-reconfigure netbase" trick. I still don't know how to reconfigure some of the earlier questions, (keyboard...) since I can't just run dbootstrap (I guess it is on the CD only). Also pointers to the documentation should be in this readme file. This file should contain or pointer to all the hits given during initial installation, otherwise any newbie is going to be lost who did not take careful notes during installation. - Josef
