Re: Installation problem

Hi Thierry,
I dont really follow your problem: if you managed to make a
netinstall, then you lan was detected at install time, and you dont need to do anything more to connect to your net. Pls explain more what is
happening.

I ran "debian-31r0a-amd64-netinst" CD installer to install Debian.  It
went through without much problem except failing detecting the onboard
LAN. I tried some drivers on the list without result.
On reboot it booted to login screen, a black screen.  I think it is on
Runlevel 3.  After login as "root" I issued "startx".  X window failed
to start.  Then I continue to run;

# pppoeconf

trying to connect broadband to run apt-get downloading the rest
components.  It popup a window requesting to execute "modconf" to
detect LAN card driver. On clicking [OK] it did not response. Therefore I closed the window and ran;

# modconf
on the black screen. It also did not response on hitting [Return].
That was my problem.

Tks.

I see your problem now. Maybe you should try to re-install using something newer than what you have. You can safely install a testing machine using the following link:
