Apologies for pestering, but does anyone out there have the time to
answer these few questions?
Paul,
I haven't made FC driver disks yet, but I wrote up the process I used (using
Doug Ledford's kit) to make driver disks for RHL 9. See:
http://www.klab.caltech.edu/~kewley/driverdisk/dd.html
I'd be interested to hear if this works for you, or if you run into any
further problems.
BTW, sorry for the few-days delay; I just now read the request you made on
Saturday. :)
