OK. Problem solved.

In fact, assuming that protocols like TCP/IP and some utilc like dhcp client
are installed by default, I have uncheck those options when going through
packages for instalation. Going once again through the instalation and
marking appriopriate packages I had succesfully installed slack with network
enabled. I have to admit however, it suprised me a lot. AFAIK unix and linux
are mainly recognized as excellent net systems so lack of default TCP/IP
necessary tools as well as lack of dhcp client within default set is to me
rather strange. I have to admit also that the speed of slack suprised me
very positively. Having no precise benchmark I can see the X + KDE is
starting amazingly fast, much, much faster than RH it does not have also
irritating screen flickering as RH9.

Long live slack and bsd.
