I meant also to say that I started out on this new build using the same CD as I'd used before: 2006.1 minimal. When I'd installed a bare system it booted OK and seemed healthy enough, but then if I ran "emerge -e system", the resulting system would not load the Ethernet module properly, so I was incommunicado. I did this several times (until I tired of banging my head against that wall), including recompiling the kernel before the remerge, after it or both or neither, before giving up and downloading a 2007.0 ISO. That one worked fine. This year is full of puzzles. I don't like mysteries. -- Rgds Peter. Linux Counter 5290, Aug 93 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
