Hi there. I'm trying to install the latest release, and I'm having =
fairly large problems. First, my network card is detected by the probe =
at boot time (it finds it as ed2), but when it comes time to install, =
ed2 is not shown in the network-capable devices. Second, I tried to get =
it to install from a MS-DOS partition, but it can't find the partitions. =
Granted, I'm using the OSR2 version on Win95, so it might not recognise =
the partition as being a DOS partition. My computer's configuration is:
Pentium II 266 with 64 megs of SDRAM, an 8.1 gig EIDE and a 2.1 gig =
EIDE, a 24x ATAPI CD-ROM and an ATAPI Zip drive. The network card is a =
Realtek RT L8029 PCI Ethernet PnP Adapter (in IRQ 10). I have two serial =
ports, a parallel port, two USB ports, a PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports =
and a Sportster 56k PnP Modem.
Any help with this would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Jim Garlick
