Thanks for the reply. I know it is not the right list for redhat 9 but since i have spent lot of time installing fedora-core which I couldn't. I did not see any best option other than this for redhat because i had nowhere else to go. I mounted floppy drive and windows VFAT drive. It works. :). Regarding ifconfig, I get follwing output. lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:40345 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:40345 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:2756565 (2.6 Mb) TX bytes:2756565 (2.6 Mb) --------- Also when i run /sbin/lspic, I get following output: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 82810 GMCH [Graphics Memory Controller Hub] (rev 03) 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp. 82810 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] (rev 03) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82801AA PCI Bridge (rev 02) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corp. 82801AA ISA Bridge (LPC) (rev 02) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801AA IDE (rev 02) 00:1f.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801AA USB (rev 02) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corp. 82801AA SMBus (rev 02) 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801AA AC'97 Audio (rev 02) 01:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Linksys Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet 10/100 model NC100 (rev 11) 01:0e.0 Communication controller: Conexant HSF 56k Data/Fax Modem (rev 01) As you can see, it is decting the network card I have here. Let me know what I should do to make the card work. Thanks. ///////////////////////////////////////// Am Fr, den 17.09.2004 schrieb Eric Cartman um 10:18: > Hi, Earlier i had problem with installing FC2. Finally, I got burned disks of redhat 9 from a friend. Luckily, I went pass installation. So you have Redhat Linux 9 running now? Then this is the wrong list.

Specific NIC model information is required.

I believe floppy drive has FAT system which should be ok with redhat, right??? Did you mount the floppy? > Ans the last question. I have windows xp on the same PC.

You need to mount it; see man mount. For instance: mount -t vfat /dev/hda2 /mnt/whatever > I tried cd /dev/hda2 (that is the partition of FAT32) but it says it is not a directory. No, you can't access partitions directly this way. See man mount. Please use the usual suspects of information resources. Some parts of your posting are more than once answered here on the list for example. Alexander _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
