please bare with me, im new to this distrobution, and pretty new to linux in general.
i built an extra computer out of spare parts, just wanted it as an extra box to access the internet, and maybe play an mp3 or two. its socket 7 100mhz pentium with 128mb ram. no cdrom (i can hook one up if i have to) and no floppy. i used the box i am writing this on to set up the drive that is currently in the old(new) computer.
none of the gui utilities could configure the network card. i googled the card, and found out that its supported... eepro is the module for it. i dont know how to get it to work, and couldnt find a definate answer... i tried appending various lines to the end of various documents.... using echo >> googleresults file to be appened to.
any sugestions? i have other isa cards as well... and if i have to i could buy a pci nic that is supported by default. (i dont know which ones are).. although i dont want to spend money i dont have to.
thanks.
