Set your mailer to wrap lines at 72 characters. You'll find that Google (http://www.google.com/) is a good resource. Plugging in your card spec, it looks as if the rtl8139 driver is what you need for your card. If this doesn't appear correct, try plugging more specific information into Google. For X (GUI) support, you'll have to provide information on your video card, monitor, and any errors our output you see when trying to get X configured. Cheers. -- Karsten M.
