Thanks everyone for your help. I tried the alteration to zmpkg.pl, but this didn't change anything. Even running zmfix from console didn't do it.

Hope this helps someone else.

Have altered modprobe.conf with options bttv card=103. The card works under WindowsXP. Am beginning to think that the XGuard you ...

Do you mean that when the livecd booted an IP address was assigned by DHCP? And what happens after install? What is the output of "ifconfig"? Does "lsmod" indicate the driver for the LAN port is installed? >ifconfig lists only "lo", lsmod didn't list the e100 driver The output from "ls -l /dev ...
