Hi John

In that case I have some questions:
Did you use the CD or the DVD?
Did you heve a working internet connection when installing?
Did you install the Madwifi drivers manually?
What is your paritioning?
Can you boot without an external USB stick?
What are the Appelonkel repros?

Could you please try a command like "make TEST" in console (only works
as root) to test wether make is working? (there must be better ways,
but I do not know them)

Thanks

Neil
