Well, that'd be off topic for this list. If you check out the URL I posted you'll find plenty of info. Really though I'd get a c. US$10 CD set from someone like CheapBytes.com. There'll be more recent drivers for your PCMCIA stuff too. Very possibly your equipment didn't exist when Red Hat 5.0 came out and thus there won't be drivers on your CDs. > >also, since i don't have X working yet, i'm stuck with >the stupid caps lock layout. is there any way to remap >the keyboard outside of X? > Again, that'd be "outside of X" and hence outside of this list's purview. However "man loadkeys" and "man keymaps" will get you what you want.
