I'm trying to help a friend install Linux for the first time. I've decided to go with RedHat, because it is fairly new user friendly. I want to do a network install, because I don't want to burn the disks, and I've already got the network install files sitting on a local webserver. The problem is that the RedHat boot disks (either floppy or CD iso) don't contain the network drivers for his box. (He has an HP Pavilion 775e, with an integrated network card).
I've tried the Gentoo LiveCD, and that seems to use the correct network drivers (I can ping the install server and such), but it's no dice with the RedHat disk. Any suggestions? Thanks, Hyrum PS - I'm tempted to go with Gentoo, however, since he is a Linux newbie, and he will not be my roommate in a couple of months, I would like to go with a low maintanance solution for right now. -- Need an Open Source Genealogy tool?
