[GRLUG] Hardware changes

[Bob Kline]

The OS is Mandriva.  Running the
"configure your computer" package
works fine.  The problem is that
after detecting and configuring the
Ethernet,  it's gone the next time
I boot up.  Have to do it all over again.

 So I'm assuming that
whatever modifications that get made
during an install don't get made on
a permanent basis when doing things
this way.
