I tried no kernel config, just selected irq3 and the Default card addr of 0x0000. The installation floppies recognized the card and said it was initializing things, but same results: I would up with only slip and ppp choices. I tried the full-screen intall option next. Xircon ("xe") was't among the drivers in the Network list. Is there a way of installing the xe driver from floppy? Or... ? thanks, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
