Check /etc/fstab. The lines for the cdrom and floppy must have the "user" option, allowing users to mount a file system. Here's mine: /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy vfat noauto,user 0 0 > > 2) I've manually set the settings for my network card.

Check /etc/conf.d/net for this line at the bottom: # For setting the default gateway gateway="eth0/192.168.0.1" Of course your IP might be different. > Hmm. Those are the two big issues.

Shouldn't be too hard if it is PCI. ISA card are a little tougher. I have a builtint ISA card. I was beginning to think it was bad until I tried the 2.6 kernel with ALSA built in and finally got it too work. HTH Mike -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
