heh, I might be in this boat because I screwed up installing the NIC's
in the first place.

Hmm, the iso would have to be unpacked, modified, re-iso'ed?  I'm
trying to get a good download of gnoppix as an alternate.

I have tomsrtbt working, perhaps I could copy from the cd-rom to the
hard drive?  Perhaps in that case I'd need source, which'd mean
compiling.  I'm not sure I want to go that route if that's what's
entailed.
