drivers.img ?? When did that arrive?
Appendix C in the official reference guide BRIEFLY mentions driver
disks, but nowhere could I find mention of that driver image...
"How Do I Obtain a Driver Disk?
Your best option for finding driver disk information is on Red
Hat's website at http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/ under the
section called Bug Fixes.
"If you find a driver disk that is appropriate for your device
support needs, create a boot disk using that filename.img file.
For instructions on how to make a boot disk, see the Official Red
Hat Linux Installation Guide section called Making Installation
Diskettes."
(The install guide also does not mention the driver disk image or
how to use it).

THAT makes things _easy_!

It looks like it is easy to hack into for customisation. And...

<smile> Yup, them's the one, for the "SoundBlaster Pro CDrom".
I've gone through all the RedHat docs, and none of this has hit me
before. Did I miss this somewhere? Or perhaps I read too often late
at night...
No, this documentation is obviously missing. It's a bit like what
happened with redhat 6.2 and its new "undocumented" rescue mode.

Cool. Anyway, now this thread can die a quick death... :)
Thanx again mate, problem solved (hopefully I haven't spoken too
soon before actually trying it... :)
Cheers
