My saga isn't finished. The installer fails to configure the network.
On the plus side, after the reboot my USB edsktop is recognised. The
problem is I can't finish configuration since apt can't talk to
repositories. I could burn a bunch of CDs but it takes time to
download the images. Incidentally, i can't get bittorrent images at
all. last week i successfully got first image but since then nothing.
Back to my lack of networking. The box has A8N-SLI nvidia nForce PCI
Express motherboard with "nForce4 built-in Gbit MAC with external
Marvell PHY - NV ActiveArmor, NV Firewall, AI NET2" which Ubuntu
recognised w/o problems. Is there some parameter I can give to the
insteller to help configuring the network? TIA,
