Great. That's not something I have time to do when I was assured by IBM and Red Hat that they loved each other and everything would be just swell. Not that that's your fault or problem, and yes I could do that. > have you tried doing this manually? the last time i seriously tried > installing something with redhat was a while back, but i'm pretty > sure they either give you a root shell or have a command-line > install mode that'd let you do it. No way to shell out of a RH install these days that I see. (^z? Maybe, haven't tried.) > and of course our favorite swarthmore mirror is only mirroring 8.x > now. Well, turns out I was looking for the 8.0 block driver disk. Got it now, not that it matters. > maybe you should just tell your boss that redhat doesn't support > the computer and put debian on it :) Debian wouldn't fair any better, I don't expect. Need the drivers from: ftp://ftp.lsil.com/HostAdapterDrivers/linux/Fusion-MPT/2.03.00 (They've got SuSE, Caldera, and RedHat disks, but no Debian. So I'd be back to building my own. And I don't have a Debian system, much less the source necessary to build a driver disk, anywhere.)
