I have just figured out ( i believed) how to get my RealTek8019 working.I
went throw /usr/src/linux 1-make dep,make clean,make bzImage,make modules
and make modules_install.Before that i had my ppp running and i could
connect to internet on my RedHat 6.0.After i run make bzImage I just copy
it to my floppy disc wich i use to boot into linux.It seems that eth0 work
and i can ping around but i have lost my ppp conection.When i try to
connect the modem don't react and it hangs on the yellow light.I believe
that i have not done 100% right with the kernel compiling.What should i do?
I use a floppy disc to boot linux.
2-Another problem is that i have another P.C. running linux RedHat 6.0 with
the same netcard RealTek8019 but when i tried to compile the kernel i got
the message
make[1]:gcc:command not found
make[1]:***[tkparse]Error 127
make!***[xconfig]Error 2
is any rpm i am missing there?
Any help is welkomed.

Well don't know about the first problem, never booted linux just from a floppy,
but you're 2nd problem imight be able to help with.

first, do this

$ echo $PATH

You're looking for /usr/bin in the path. If its not there problem solved!
Type this command

$ export PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH (if bash is your shell)
$ setenv PATH /usr/bin:$PATH (if csh is your shell)

Try make again. If it works, you may want to edit /etc/profile and add
/usr/bin to your search path. If not, you'll have to install gcc. I'm not
sure what package that is in.

1) try to figure out, whether the gcc-package is installed on your machine
rpm -qa | grep gcc
2) it seems that gcc-packages are not shiped with RH6,
you can find them on the RH6-mirrors under "contrib"
3) try making a "real" boot disk for linux,
under RH6: mkbootdisk --device <floppy device> <kernel-version>
e.g.: mkbootdisk --device /dev/fd0 2.2.7

Good luck!

I'm not if the solution that I offer here would work, but hey give it a
shot and see if it works.. I had a similiar problem.. U may want to
upgrade your pppd to the latest version. Looks like there is a bit of
incompatability between 2.2.6 Kernel and the old pppd. Download &
install the latest pppd from

ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/linux/system/networks/serial/ppp

For problem#2, do u have Tcl/Tk installed on the other computer.?

Let me know if it helps.
