I was not aware that was an option. (Are the daily builds supposed to
be stable enough for that, by the way?)
And now that I have a (seemingly) functioning base system installed, I
am a bit reluctant to purge that and start from scratch again.
However, what I ended up doing was to compile a 2.4.25 from source
downloaded from kernel.org. That seems to work quite well for now.
What I would like to do now, is to run the "network configuration part"
of the install. (Which wasn't done during the install, since the
network card wasn't functioning.) Is that at all possible?
Is there something else I can do to the same effect? (Reinstalling
netbase, as I was advised, does not seem to do any such configuration.)
(I can of course configure the network by hand, but I am afraid there
are things that should be done that I forget.)
With kind regards
