I'm trying to download kernel sources during a Lunar install, but it first says that it can't find /dev/modem (due to the fact that I don't have one), but then fails. I've checked /dev, but there is no /dev/eth0. I have a Marvell network card supported by the sk98lin driver on another computer.

How do I install with this network card?

dude, you're missing some stuff here:

1) the kernel sources are on the ISO - there is no need to go on the internet. Just mount the ISO and look in /var/spool/lunar. The kernel sources are also copied to your installed system so you can just do a `lin linux-2.6` without bothering - lunar will find the sources itself

2) the sk98lin driver is available in the precompiled kernels - if you select one of the precompiled kernels you can just `modprobe sk98lin` after installation. Use lnet to setup your network card and just enter 'sk98lin' for your network module.

3) /dev/eth0 will never exist - there are no device nodes created for *any* pci device (or ISA or ... etc).
