Reconfiguring (accepting automatic detection) worked fine indeed. Thanks. (ATI card)
Not only. Now dhclient connects to network!
At this point I can resume molecular dynamics with the machine. However, inf still wise to change to lenny, where to learn how to carry out correctly a debootstrap? Is it safe to save on another computer /usr/local where amber9 dock6 dms openmpi-1.2.3 nwchem are installed
and /opt/intel
where the intel compilers for the above programs are installed?
Thanks for your precious instructions. Actually, I have acknowledged with thanks your great help in compiling mpqc with libint in a publication
