OK I know this has been covered before but for some reason, I can't find any ACTIVE servers from which I can download the patch to activate the floppy diskette drive ... I've got the PCMCIA slots 'working' now (insomuch as they can detect whats plugged into them) but the fdd keeps giving me 'unrecognised block device' errors. The links I can find on the net all seem to point to ftp://ftp.rp.csiro.au/pub/people/dbateman/flash/ or http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/kernel/pcmcia/contrib/ , both of which seem to be dead. Anyone know of any other place where I can grab it from? I'm running Red Hat 6.2, kernel 2.2.14-5.0. Also, I'm probably looking in the wrong places but I'm having one hellava time trying to figure out how to get Linux to detect my PCMCIA network card (a Bromax iPort 10/100 NIC, NE2000 compatible) and how to configure it appropriately for networking. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've only ever set up networking/NICs at install time but I installed this HDD in another box (Kudzu was kind enough to remove all the stuff that my other box had but the libby doesn't but it doesn't seem to want to install any of the new stuff). On the flip side, it turns out X configuration and getting sound working were heaps easier than I thought ... Xconfigurator seems to work like a charm for once! - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
