Hello Ray. Thanks for the reply. The file names were
truncated. They only had the '.rpm' taken off of the
name, though. I tried it with both the default file
name and with the '.rpm' on the end and got the same
result. There were three files posted and I
downloaded all three. With each, i used
#rpm -ivh name
The three files are
XFree86_3DFX-SVGA-3.3.3-2.i386.glibc.rpm
XFree86_3DFX-rushlib-3.3.3-2.i386.glibc.rpm
XFree86_3DFX-XF86Setup-3.3.3-2.i386.glibc.rpm
I just noticed that the web site has each numbered
segment (version designations) separated by a '.
insteadof a '_'. I haven't tried it with the '.' but
I will. With each file, i get 'error, cannot read
file'. Should i install the XF86Setup file above with
a command that I have not heard about? I apologize,
but I am not familiar with the ls -1 of the mounted
floppy. None of my documentation mentions it either.
Thanks again and I appreciate any help you can
provide.
Best regards- Dave
