Hi, Greg;
Thanks.
I just checked my .config and I answered 'y' to
CONFIG_NET_EHTERNET
CONFIG_NET_ISA
CONFIG_NE2000
(No PCI cards in this system (80486dx66)).
I haven't installed lilo yet as I have a live DOS system on
/dev/hda1,5,6,7
and I am afraid of trashing the master boot record with lilo. I am in
development now and intend to use 'zdisk' or loadlin to get the linux
system to boot.
OBTW, since I didn't install LILO, 'make zlilo' returns a Fatal error 2.
doh!
:-|
I'll try 'make config' again and make my Ne2000 stuff 'M'odules instead
of 'Y'es.
Regards, Chuck
