In the BIOS, go to
* Advanced
* Chipset Configuration and enable Onboard LAN

After that
* Advanced
* ACPI Configuration
* Onboard LAN power on

Thank you man, great description, it works

Thank you for all the answers. I talked to the electrians today and they where negative about changing plans so late. But I will put extra pipings so that it´s will be possible to change to something else later.

I will put some floor heating, they try to sell me their wireless system for controling this. Does anybody have any experience in theese solutions, is it possible to controll with z-wave deveices. The company that deliver the system is called uponor. I talked to their technical person but he had no idea what I was talking about.

I have to admit that I'm getting a little bit worried about my choice of z-wave. It's a quite big house, and alot of concrete that will make the signal transfer more difficult.

I'm really not sure what to do here.

You are sayning that you have customers that are happy with z-wave, is it also many of them experiencing problems?

Where are you located? Is this a new build or a renovation?

I live in norway. It is a new build.

I can't find any PXE boot options in my BIOS. And can only choose from booting from CDROM or HDD.

Is there any other way to install a MD than to use a netboot. Or is it possible to netboot this computer? Another nic?

I'm currently building my house and have a goal of controlling "every" aspect of my house from a LinuxMCE setup.

1. Temperature control
2. Z-wave for all the lights, the electricians are putting in the components as I write
3. Music in multiple rooms, with built inn speakers
4. Possible to stream different tv signal to different rooms
5. Security systems with surveillance cameras
6. pluss much more, what cool things can be done

My budget is good and I rather do this the right way. I'm putting Cat6 cables inn all the rooms, I have a central room to put my Core, this room will also have the cable/satelite input, all the Cat6 cables ends up here. I also make it possible to wire from the speakers to both this room and to central location around the house, places to put my MD's maybe?

I understand that this is going to take some time. I tried out a little bit this weekend, and yes.. things take time.

Would greatly appreciate all input on how to best solve the different things.

I have seen that post somewhere. Put what is UI1. And where do I install it?

Ok. But still, how do I make it a pure Core before installing?

Hi, I have been reading the tutorials for installing LinuxMCE.

The problem is that the pictures in the DVD install guide is not the same at the one I'm using. I'm trying to install LinuxMCE with the Kubuntu 8.04 distro. But I never get any choice making the machine a core only machine as it says in the tutorial.

Is there another way to do this?

I've been using linux for some time, but I'm still a newbie, so sorry if this question is really stupid
