I wonder why this was not done during installation.
Thank a lot for your and Amir Tal's quick help.
Things seem to work now :-)

Yes, I did choose the easy way this sunday morning...
I still have a small annoyance:
After booting a box pops up (without telling me which program is
responsible for it) saying:
Choose your current network-environment !
<new> <set_up_new_environment>
<OK> <Cancel>
Even if I choose <Cancel> things seem to work fine, though.
Grepping for 'Choose your current network-environment' leads
to /sbin/netenv
I don't know why this is called. I want to get rid of it, how?
Robert
