The response of "command not found" was to the "ifconfig" command. Sorry 
I wasn't clear about that. Guess I was in a stream of consciousness 
thing ;-) OK, now I have a base install. An "lspci" brings up the SiS 
900 NIC in the output. The output of "# grep -i eth0 /var/log/dmesg" was 
as follows:

"SIS 900 Internal MII PHY Transceiver found. at address 1
Using transceiver found. at address 1 as default.
SIS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet at 0xe400, IRQ 11, 00:30:67:06:4f:86"

By the way, thanks for the tip on the ctrl-c. I seem to not be writing 
the grep variables too closely first time around and then grep just 
churns away for hours.

The output of "# grep eth0 /etc/network/interfaces" was nothing.

Even after the base install, the "ifconfig" command returns "command not 
found.

Where do I go from here?

Cheers,

Brian
