The driver is probably a .c file , copy that file to
/usr/src/linux/drivers/net.  Type 'cp tulip.c
/usr/src/linux/drivers/net'  without the '' signs.  Once you have copied
that file over you can recompile your kernel.  In the /usr/src/linux
directory type in make menuconfig (it is a menu driven config menu,
under network device make sure the tulip driver is checked , it is
located under either EISA/VLB/PCI  submenu (it make be different
depending on your current kernel version).
When you exit type in make dep ; make clean ; make boot  (I believe that
is correct for RedHat, I haven't used it since last spring..I use all
slackware over here and I use make zlilo .  After that is done type in
make modules ; make modules_install    After that you can reboot.  It
sounds like a lot of work but it is not bad once you do it once.  The ;
stacks the commands sorta like a queue, it will do each command in the
order you type then in one at a time.

1. Need Help: Setup RedHat 5.1 CD on Single HD(2 Partitions) running Win98.

Hi there,
            I am relative new at this and keen to learn and understand
more abt linux system.  Here are my current PC configurations:

*PII 233Mhz
*3.2 GB
*Win98
*C&D drive partitions.  ('C' - Win98;'D' empty for now)
*Thinkpad

        I already have the Redhat 5.1 CDRom.  Now the big
question....how do i start?  Here are some questions that I need to
find out.

Q:  I want to install Linux desperately and still want to make use
Win98 from time to time.  How do I configure the system so that I can
hv dual boot system?

Q:  After the Linux installation,  what will be the default OS upon
rebooting?  If I prefer   default Win98 or Linux how do I do it?

Q:How many space do  I need to set aside for Linux? How many
partitions or hd space does it requires anyway?

Q: How do uninstall Linux if the system somehow rather got mess up?

I hope you guys can assist me on this.  Greatly appreciated and many
thanks.  :)

Cheers,
     Iskandar D
