Use the drvnet.img from the images directory on the CD. It has the drivers for that ethernet card in it. Tell the install you have a driver disk with "linux dd", or if you are kickstarting it "linux ks=floppy dd".

However, in the latest beta release of phoebe they include a new 'boot.iso' for burning to a CD. _Very_ handy. The initrd image contained therein apparently includes broadcom support as my broadcom NIC client boots off it and is then able to do a ks=http:// install. If you are doing PXE then then you probably want to pull this same image they use in boot.iso From the 8.0.94 release notes: o Also in the images/ directory is the boot.iso file. This file is an ISO image that can be used to boot the Red Hat Linux installation program. It is a handy way to start network-based installations without having to use multiple diskettes. To use boot.iso, your computer must be able to boot from its CD-ROM drive, and its BIOS settings must be configured to do so. You must then burn boot.iso onto a recordable/rewriteable CD-ROM. > > _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
