I can see your frustration. It looks as though you're stuck half-way through the installation. /lib/modules *is* the correct place for the kernel modules. I think you should only get a /target directory during the initial installation procedure. But I can't say anything more about it than that. How are you accessing the net from your machine? You said you already downloaded everything, so how did you get those files to your machine? Can you get everything on to a local hard drive or cdrom ready for installation? Another point about slink, I think you should be able to grab the latest pcmcia-cs source from frozen, so that you have a version which supports your card, and compile it for slink. I believe pcmcia should be "backwards compatible" for the 2.0 kernel, it's an independent component after all. Could you try that, getting a working pcmcia system under slink, then carry on the upgrade to potato (or stay with slink, with the updated pcmcia version)? You can find the instructions on how to compile the modules inside /usr/doc/pcmcia-cs. BTW I could be wrong, but I think in Redhat you can run linuxconf to set the system configuration without so many of the pretty pictures. Good luck! Drew
