Quoting Jason Clinton : > I suggest the pirating discussions be taken off list. My dear sir! We are discussign nothing of the sort! I _OF_COURSE_ have a legitimate license for this fine product of the Redmond firm; I am merely seeking to replace my aparantly damaged installation medial. If I wanted to pirate it, I'd be asking for the installation key. W95 and W98 both appear to hang on installation. It may be the HD, not the CD's after all. Mandrake 9.1, on the other hand, installs fine. I've done it three times so far - trying to get a 22MB PCMCIA wireless card to work keeps locking up the sysetm (again, this may be the HD) or doing a kernel panic on shutdown and failing to sync. There are DMA CRC error messages on boot-up - that's what makes me think it might be a bad disk. Anybody with advice on how to configure the /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts so that it'll work with an SMC 2435W using Ivor Hewett's drivers would be appreciated. --------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through tarcanfel's horde/imp system
