Subject: Re: using driver from drvnet.imgIs it necessary that you use a floppy? I just put the CDROM in and type linux ks=nfs:<servername>:/<sharename>/ks.cfg (assuming you have put the ks.cfg file on the nfs share). The CDROM has the driver built in.
However, if you use a floppy then use the bootnet.img which has the 3c509 driver already in it.I hope this helps.

NFS install.
It exists in drvnet.img, and I can do a manual NFS install by inserting
the driver diskette when prompted, but I can't make the install work
right unless I put the contents of the driver diskette on a partition on
the system to be installed.
That kind of takes the "kick" out of kickstart, eh?_______________________________________________

Yes, I
need to use a floppy, because this machine doesn't have a bootable
CD.
I AM
using the bootnet.img.
Are
you sure the 3c509 is on the bootnet.img? It's not one of the
choices.
3c90x
is a choice, but that doesn't work.
