delilinux.berlios.de/pub/delilinux/pkg

The files containing kernels and modules end in .dsk.
ide.dks  scsi.dsk nx.dsk  cd-pp.dsk  nxmod.dsk

config.ide (config.scsi, config.nx) shows you how the kernel (ide, scsi, 
or nx) was configured.  You need to check that the kernel you are thinking 
of using lets you add the module you want to use.

nxmod.dsk is the file containing all the modules.

nx.txt gives instructions for how to convert the nx.dsk image to the 
kernel image on a floppy disk:

Put 1.44 disk in A: (assuming you are using DOS or WIndows)
rawrite a: nx.dsk  (or substitute ide.dsk or scsi.dsk)

> From linux   dd if_nx.dsk of=/dev/fd0

This should make a kernel image from the nx.dsk file, which is one with 
networking support.  I think you said you are trying to do wireless 
networking with a card that is not supported by SW7.1.

Do the same on a second floppy disk with nxmod.dsk for all the modules and 
choose the one you need.

What kernel is 'included in Delilinux'?   What were his exact words?
