    installing suse 8.2 with an old bios.

    Thanks for the reply. I did work out that I could load the network card module, and you are right this should be the 8139too module. The problem is that when I install this driver, it asks for the driver parameters, I do not know what they are, the module will not install without the correct parameters. I will try the 9.0 boot image.
  2. Hi, i am new to Linux and would greatly appreciate some help with installing it. I have stated off with burning the boot.iso image. and have tried installing Linux with it. Booting into Linux is no problem. However me networkcard, a realtek, does not get discovered, I found out this is because my bios version is to old (99) and aspi is disabled. I also know that to overcome this problem is by running aspi=force in the command line, but because of the fact that use a cd, I cannot make any changes to files. My questions are as follows: Is there a way to burn a cd copy with aspi fored to on? What are the parameters for installing the realtek 8139 card? My future Linux server is at the moment a win2000 server, can I copy the linux files tree to this server, boot my Pc using the Linux boot cd, and install from the network? The c: partition is NTFS. Really appreciate your help!
