That worked great and booted ok. Couldn't find the 2.2.26 kernal in
lib/modules so I downloaded a new disk2 and copied and unpacked it in
a new directory src. Copied the new kernel 2.2.26 to /lib/modules,
copied the rtl8139.o file to the 2.2.26/misc directory and did a
insmod. Got the following response. insmod: init_module: rtl8139:
device or resource busy. According to the readme I tried editing the
netsetup file with several variations, I am connected to a router so
I used the dynamic choices, but it didn't help. Do I need to copy
some other files from disk2? That's where I am now. Thanks for
being patient.
