Hi
I am in the process of trying to get RH 7.3 with the RULE installed on a
P75/16MB laptop. It has a floppy, but no CD-ROM, so I am using a 3com
589 PCMCIA nic to install via http. I am running to a roadblock, though
- Can't get the RULE installer (slinky, I guess) to see the NIC.
I made sure it is possible by installing RH6.1 the same way first in
this same machine. Works almost automatically. No problem. I just
created a boot floppy from the pcmcia.img file on the RH 6.1 disk,
booted and told it where my http server is.
I found a pcmcia.img image for RULE (slinky 0.3.6) and created the
floppy, it wasn't bootable, though. I booted with the slinky.img
created disk and machine started and gave me a command line. That's the
point where I get lost. What to do next?
As far as I can tell, this is what RH 6.1 does:
-loads pcmcia_core, i82356 & ds modules
-then loads cardmgr
-then loads 3c589_cs
-then configures the network parameters
I have tried doing the same with RULE, but haven't succeeded, so I need
some help.
Does anyone have a step-by-step installation howto for a situation like
this?, or some other creative ideas as to what to do next?
Thanks
Tim
