ok, now I reboot and the network works. but now I have no X-windows.
now when I reboot I get dropped into the text-based login prompt and I have to 
do this each time:

export CC=gcc-4.1
cd /home/pbc/Doc*/sof*
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.09-pkg1.run

/etc/init.d/kdm restart

and KDE then starts.
what is wrong and why doesn't xwindows work when I reboot?
needless to say I have an NVIDIA GEforce 7300 card..

and thanks for your help with the network!!
