I dont know about your X Server (there are some great guides out there - |
| 5 |
don't despair, it never worked for me in the first run either) but I |
| 6 |
think I have a clue to whats with you network card: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
The LiveCD has a kernel with all the drivers enabled as modules (or |
| 9 |
probably build in). The kernel you compiled yourself will probably not |
| 10 |
have those. |
| 11 |
Try this: Find out what kind of network card you have (Bo Andresen wrote |
| 12 |
in his mail how to do this) - go back and configure the Kernel - you can |
| 13 |
find the ethernet-drivers under Device Drivers -> Network Device Support |
| 14 |
- -> Ethernet (10 or 100 Mbit) || Ethernet (1000 Mbit) || Ethernet (10000 |
| 15 |
Mbit). Now find your card's driver (read the help-pages or search the |
| 16 |
web if you don't know it) and build it into your kernel (press "y"). |
| 17 |
Then recompile your kernel and boot it. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
You should see your card with ifconfig -a now. |
