Just had another thought on this, following another thread. Tried 'ifup -a' to
see what would happen. Came back 'ifup command unknown'. I have tried both
the CD iso image and netinstall iso image and network fails to work with
either installation but both access network during installation. Surely ifup
should be installed by default. I will try to download it from Xubuntu and
shunt it onto the other hard drive and try and install it that way and see
what happens.
