I did a network install using an old 3com 3c574 PCMCIA card. Worked like a champ to install over. To run X I had to use AcceleratedX. At the time, there was no other support for the video chipset (actually sent the laptop to XIG for a month and they wrote the driver, which is now available as a patch for those already owning Xaccel). I could not get sound working, nor did resume from suspend work. Good luck. -D It looks like on 03/29/01 at 13:51, Viren R.Shah may have said: > >>>>> "Jamie" == Jamie Bowden writes: > > Jamie> :I can't even boot it up in order to get to the main sysinstall > Jamie> :screen.
