I have followed it and 2006beta has been installed. However, I have one large problem - it won't boot. My internet connection is an ethernet card into a router/modem. During installation, all the required packages were downloaded without problem. On booting, the sequence shows: "Bringing up interface eth0". But then, for some reason, there is "Bringing up interface ppp0". At that point, the booting stops and refuses to continue, even after a very long wait. I am certain that I have not selected "ppp" anywhere during the installation. It stops both with a normal boot and with a failsafe boot. PLEASE, how can I stop it trying to start ppp0, as I can't run the distro to do anything? Very many thanks to you or anyone else who can help. Cheers Keith
