	During my first attempt at installing 2.1, the install program
would not let me set up the ethernet interface as the network. I tried
doing a "kernel -c", but that didn't help. The install program simply
doesn't have an ethernet option available for me. I ended up telling it
to set up lp0 and then later editing the /etc/rf file by hand to change
it to ep0. This is a 3Com 3C509 card. Is there something I missed?
	When I tried to do a restore from tape for my personal files, all
the files extracted with root as the owner. I tried using the --same-owner
option, but that didn't work either. Is there another option that I need
to use so that I can back up and restore from tape and still maintain
the original owner and permissions on the files?
	I'd really appreciate and pointers that anyone has.

Thanks,
Keith
