This did seem to work, but I have now lost all GUI menu text.

No prob, but what is the functionality of such a reply? Could not see
any such facility explained on your site. What would I say in the email
text?

Have appreciated your attention to this matter, but I think I will put
this issue aside for now. For me, it is a side project. I just wanted to
make an old machine into a usable Linux box to get some relatives "used
to Linux" without touching their own PCs (my K6 also happens to be a
small and light "pizza box", making it easier to transport). Morphix
allowed me to make the system font size larger. This is very much an
issue for older users. The others I tried did not.

I also tried DSL and Feather. The live CDs automatically recognized the
NIC, however not when they were installed on the HD, for some reason.
Neither DSL nor Feather responded to support emails.

Are you by any chance in Canada yourself?
