> > Did you wipe the partitions (reformat)? > Yes. I have two hard drives in this computer. FC3 is installed on hdc. I copied all my data and other non-system files to hdd before installing. I had the installer "remove all Linux partitions" from hdc before reinstalling. My original problem stemmed from a bad mix of apt repositories and it was just easier to reinstall. But now I have everything reconfigured and would rather not go for another complete reinstall if I can avoid it. My eth0 was automatically detected and configured, but I still need to configure my modem to access one of my e-mail accounts. I also need minicom to connect with my work computers. It's a direct dial-in connection, not on the internet. Jim -- This is an email sent via the webforum on http://fcp.homelinux.org
