Network Card not found during Beta 4 upgrade

[jawadde]

Hi,

I have a working system running Beta 3, which I installed from DVD.
Now I have downloaded the Beta 4 CDs as I don't want to do a fresh install from the DVDs.

Everything looks fine, until I click the "Install Linux MCE" icon on the desktop.
The message I'm getting during the installation process is:

"You'll need to add at least one network card on this computer before installing Linux MCE"

My only optionis to close the dialogbox, which aborts the installation.

Any ideas anybody, as there are 2 NICs in the system, and they are both operational under Beta 3 

Thanks

Are you following the proper upgrade instructions for the CDs? I don't know what they are specifically - but you can "upgrade" using DVD as well by telling it to use your previous settings. True it still blows away your partition and any media on it, but that isn't hard to deal with. Just move any media on that drive first.

I had the same problem at first, I ran as root and it installed just fine.

This did indeed do the trick.

Thanks for the help.
