On our Red Hat 6.2 machine, I have isapnptools-1.18c-1,
but on our Red Hat 7.3 machine, there is no such
package, since the 2.4 kernel has isa pnp support built
in.  More info is available in the following kernel
documentation file, which is installed from the
kernel-doc package at
/usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.4.18/isapnp.txt .  Some old
drivers apparently don't have isa pnp support, so the
file shows how to configure them through the /proc
filesystem interface.  If you need to do this last,
you'll probably need to look around for a HOWTO or
something, through an appropriate search engine, since
the above referenced file doesn't give clear enough
detail.

Meaning isapnptools, I guess.  Clearly the HOWTO is out
of date.  Check for a newer one at http://www.tldp.org/
That's a good place to search for your other answers,
too.

People buy MicroShaft for compatibility, but get incompatibility and
instability instead.  This is award winning "innovation".  Find
