Paul, I haven't made FC driver disks yet, but I wrote up the process I used (using Doug Ledford's kit) to make driver disks for RHL 9. See: http://www.klab.caltech.edu/~kewley/driverdisk/dd.html I'd be interested to hear if this works for you, or if you run into any further problems. BTW, sorry for the few-days delay; I just now read the request you made on Saturday. :) David
