Neil,
   Thanks for your response, and to Dale also.

   The drive is SATA. I'm not familiar with AHCI. (What? Advanced Host
controller Interface or something like that? If this is a driver that
needs to be loaded let me know and I'll try booting again and looking
around.

   Not clear if the NIC was installed. My kid wanted to load Windows
and play games with his $300 video card so I let him have fun and
figured I'd try to get this moving on Monday.

   I will likely download a new Knoppix CD just to see what happens also.

   Thanks!!!

Cheers,
Mark
