Thanks for your reply Jaqui. It was just the help I needed. I found that I had problems compiling the ethernet driver from the build directory because of the conflict between the LiveCD kernel and my current one. The solution I found was to boot to the LiveCD, then compile and copy the module to the hard disk after noting the installation path. I also copied over modules.dep and one or two other files. Then I rebooted, followed the remastering proceedure and copied the module into its correct location under the LiveCD root directory.
Burnt the CD and it worked perfectly (located the network adapter)! Many thanks for your help. Roger Young. .....................................................
