Hi all,
Having done a little more investigating it appears that drivers.tgz file on
CD 1 contains all of the files I require to update modconf and enable
installation of the missing drivers.
drivers.tgz is the following location
/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.23-2002-05-21 contains the most
comprehensive list of driver modules
Inside this file there appears to be a install.sh file which is run to
install all of the drivers and associated modconf files
Is my deduction correct ?
Would I also be correct in thinking drivers from different kernel
configurations / same kernel build level (i.e. 2.2.X) are compatible ?
