hi,
do u have any idea what how do i install FC1 with compiled drivers?
i have the driver disk copied at
http://www.cse.iitb.ac.in/~jeetu/sata/

that i used to install rh9

u can see that the modules.cgz contains the drivers for respective kernels
i tried to hack into it and put the drivers manually in modules.cgz,
but that didnt work

pls suggest something....this is urgent

Regards,
Jeetu
