    I must have had that kernel(or newer) on originally, cos the networking
    worked no bother. Whatever I can't remember.

    I have to thank you for suggesting running the GUI though cos this has let
    me fix my problem. [I'd always just edited the file
    /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 by hand before]
    I hadn't realised that putting DEVICE=eth1 in the file ifcfg-eth0 was the
    way to map eth0 to eth1.
    This has got me going so a big thanks for your help.
