Yes I looked at Cards with more and found nothing. I also ran "
grep MediaGX Cards " and " grep mediagx Cards " and found
nothing. It looks like this version does not support MediaGX.
The next question is which rpms do I need to support MediaGX?
Can I use DOS/Win95 to download the files and then access the
fat16 file system from Linux or do I have to get a Linux ppp
connection configured and use ftp or Lynx to download the files into
the Linux file system?
