Raw message 

Hi Tim,

Many thanks for your response.

I have now resolved this.. I had to properly setup as per Jorges
suggestions to use ethx via grub settings.

Once the /etc/network/interfaces were corrected to use eth0 and get
internet connectivity after reboot, you then install LAMP.. then grase.

Good I managed to resolve this. Many thanks again for this wonderful
software!

Cheers,

Karotu
