Some days ago I totally reinstalled debian 1.3.1 and rpc.portmap DID exist. Then I updated completely to the unstable release and noticed that it was away (BTW: I`ve installed the network packages). My ethernet card driver seems to be correctly installed. At bootup there are some error-messages, saying, that network service was not available. I can send you the exact error-message later (I can`t now because I`m not at home) Anyway Thank you very much florian attenberger -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
