Re: Ethernet problem
Okay, recording what I did to fix things:
Basic problem: Ethernet Ne2k-pci card was loading with INT 0 instead of INT 10,
and failing
to work.
Solution:
(1) It turns out that the others who advised me were right. You can't do a warm
boot always
from Win98 to Linux. It's gotta be cold. But rather than install LILO, I
simply did a
web search on "config.sys menu", and wrote a CONFIG menu to let me pick MSDOS,
LINUX, or
Win98, with the default being Win98 (for my wife).
Secondary problem:
When I ran ConfLinux (or was it LinuxConf?) the program created a file called
modules.conf that
was triggering panicky error messages upon boot that modules.conf was
deprecated, please remove
ASAP.
Solution: The proper filename nowadays is conf.modules, not modules.conf, so
I was simply able to
delete the file. It would seem that the Linux Configuration utility is outdated
for Potato
