Lennart and everyone, thanks for the suggestion, threw in a video
card, everything's good now.  Except:  I also added a new ethernet
card -- am trying to turn this into a dns server, I talked about this
in a post a while ago -- anyway, I the card isn't recognized by the
kernel.  On boot I get this:  

Limiting direct PCI/PCI transfers.
isapnp: Scanning for PnP cards...
isapnp: Card 'Plug & Play Ethernet Card'  <-- my card
isapnp: Card 'CS4236B'
isapnp: 2 Plug & Play cards detected total

but no modules are loaded and there's on further mention of this card
or the eth1 interface.  In /etc/network/interfaces I have this line:

iface eth1 inet dhcp

and when I try to bring it up with ifup eth1, ifup fails with this
message:


sit0: unknown hardware address type 776
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
sit0: unknown hardware address type 776
Bind socket to interface: No such device
Failed to bring up eth1.

I'm not sure what sit0 is, but it seems clear to me that eth1 is not
found.  anyone know what's going on?  I don't know the make of this
card, only that it worked fine in someone else's old redhat box before he
gave it to me.  This new machine runs ubuntu hoary.


anyway, thanks as always.
