NOTE: First things first. RedHat(RH)9.0 went on without much hastle at all. Most everthing worked with generic drivers. The ethernet didn't tho.
To get that up quickly, visit Broadcom's download page and get your driver.
I'm dual booting. So I downloaded it to the windows side and burned a cd with it. There is a linux FS mounter for Win2k/XP but I don't
trust it for mounting read/write. You could also use a Wireless card, my Cisco aironet 350 worked straight away. Or even a PCMCIA ethercard.
