Re: [Gnewsense-dev] New installation issues

[George Roberge]

Thank you for your reply.  I don't have too many useful answers to your
questions.  I "took today off" from experimenting with the laptop to
install gNewSense on another PC.  Works like a charm, with the exception
of the odd NetworkManager bug I reported earlier this afternoon.  Below
are my responses:

The modprobe yielded nothing, which I thought was odd.  I typed it, it
appeared to run, and nothing happened.  I do not know if there is a
verbose mode as of yet, or if a lack of any response actually indicates
failure.

I did not try any other kernels because I figured, from what I saw on
that site, that I needed to update my repo list.  Without Internet
access that would not have been possible.  I only read through the site
fast, though, so if there is an offline way to do it I missed it.

I'll assume that someone worked on it last night, because this morning
it was humming along.
