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.
