I just installed potato successfully from the FTP site. Here is what I did.
1 made floppy images of root.bin the driver floppies the boot floppy I booted off, you guessed it, the boot floppy, which asked me to load the root floppy and the drivers. I simply followed directions. I partitioned the disk, creating the / partition as well as others that I like to have seprartely. I installed the kernel, etc. I configured the network. That is, I chose the driver for my ethernet card. Now, I believe I have the same card as you. You are correct that there is no module that says 905c. However, there is one with a TX extension (I think it was the 509c card.) At any rate, I simpy went through the list of 3com cards until one installed correctly. I then installed the base system from the ftp site. When you install the base system, one of the option is to do that. The boot system even knows the correct addresses. After that it was straight forward. -- Arthur H. Edwards 712 Valencia Dr. NE Abq. NM 87108 (505) 256-0834
