I havent tried Optiplex 760, as we dont buy Dells at the moment cause of 
a over 50% failure rate on 2 year old GX620, but I got it working on 
computers with the Q43 and Q45 chipset from Intel. That should be one of 
those in the Optiplex 760.

What I did was download the 4.8rc5 source, unpacked it, modifired the 
bootdisk/Makefile so it download Linux 2.6.27.11. I could not get it to 
compile with 2.6.28 at all.

Then I downloaded the newest 2.6.28 and copied drivers/net/e1000e from 
2.6.28 source to 2.6.27.11 source (remove the old e1000e first). 

The e1000e driver might be upgraded in 2.6.27.14 which is the latest so 
that little hack isnt needed any more. I dont know.

When you make the kernel just used default settings to those config 
questions it asks you.

If anyone is intrested I'll post a copy of the tftpboot images and the 
linuxaux catalog on a webpage.
