Let me explain how I set up the machine. before even booting I put the dsl cable I am using now to send this message into the linux box, keeping it connected to my modem/rooter as usual. Because we were pressed for time, after letting speakup start, and entering my username, Karen, and my password, I simply used the print screen key to silence speakup. the error message we got is below. I saw karen@suburst:~s and there was no other place to type so after karen@sunburst:~s I typed /sbin/ifconfig eth0 as instructed the message we got was: eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not Found We tried the step more than once to be sure. let me add that typing shutdown -h also produced an error, so I simply turned off the machine after restoring speakup. The Ethernet card was in the computer before the hard drive containing Debian was installed, so was the rest of the hardware Linux identified. thoughts? Karen
