The 905C's work fine, they just won't be automatically detected first
boot...

If netconf doesn't do it automatically (but it should!), add the
line :
alias eth0 3c509
in your /etc/conf.modules file to have the module automatically
loaded by
kerneld.
You can add the other lines in your /etc/rc.d/init.d/network file.

That'll make it work and autoconfigure.
As far as partitioning, if you're not using the NTFS drive at all, format it
:)
If you need to resize it, you'll need a full copy of Partition Magic, Sorry.

I am using a 3Com EtherLink 10/100 PCI card - 'For Complete PC

think it's possible?
Hey, my Linux Mandrake 7.0 Power Pack was just delivered?
