I want to install via the NIC because the system doesn't have a CDROM. During boot up, it seems to start the PCMCIA controller driver okay, and it alleges to probe the cards, and it doesn't complain. I do a novice install, partition and all that, but when I tell it I want to do an FTP install, I don't have ed0 as an option. How do I tell the install to properly see my NIC? -- PETER SCHWENK | UNIX System Administrator Department of Mathematical Sciences | University of Delaware schwenk@math.udel.edu | (302)831-0437 <-NEW!!!
