Hmmm ... I received the message "invalid line 1 in /etc/resolv.conf",
i.e.
"domain
nameserver xxx.xx.xxx.x
xxx.xx.xxx.xx"
but putting a hash (#) in front of line 1 changed nothing.
Looking at /etc/networks gave
"localnet 192.168.1.0
eth0_netmask 255.255.255.0"
- the first IP adress was unfamiliar so I changed it to my static IP
adress - but I still get the message "something wicked has happened ..."
when I try 'apt-get update' to all my sources.
When I reboot eth0 comes up, so something is happening correctly but
I'm stumped as to what is wrong.
Running 'netconf --status' still gives the message that
"module pythonmod does not exist" and that
"? Service samba is not running" although I see it started at boot
and apparently started by linuxconf.
I don't wish to create any more problems for myself than already
exist so I'd welcome any advice people may wish to give.

something wicked is the error when the names are not resolving.
Not a very good error message :-(
Check that you dns lookup is working, if not check resolv.conf for
you dns settings.
