Actually...this might be a good idea...it sounds like lots of things have been
messed up from your tinkering...:) No, this is good! It's the best way to learn
you way around Linux, seriously! But...only if you have the time. If you need to
get work done right away, either use another machine or try not to mess about in
conf files too much.
Do you have a modem installed?
I find that when weird stuff like this happens, you want to take everything out
and install with the minimum of stuff. That way you can isolate problems
easier...eliminate as many variables as possible.
Try installing with only graphics card and mouse (and keyboard and monitor, of
course) and see if it works. You can install the modem and soundcard later.
Just a suggestion.
