OK - I decided to use the crude method. Fitted a 3c59x card which was auto

Gentoo Linux supports a variety of different types of filesystems; each type
has its strengths and weaknesses and its own set of performance
characteristics. Currently, we support the creation of ext2, ext3, XFS, JFS
and ReiserFS filesystems.

Good news I think.
Typing "modprobe e100" got the NIC working in the Toshiba laptops. (So that

In another machine I could bring (tower PC with 2.4Ghz and 500Mb and a
Broadcom 440x NIC) it looks like we might not be able to use the
live_distcc_cd.

long shot but you have you tried the ne200 driver?
I have some success with that driver in the past.

Safety - generally (under gentoo) /boot is not mounted, or only mounted RO. So you
will always be able to boot. However, since I have (repeatedly) dumped bzImage files
into /boot _without_ it being mounted, I now mount my /boot partition in fstab. So
much for safety. So I spose you can get a
