    Howdy All

    Still trying to install RH Linux on the laptop through a null modem cable
    and the parallel ports of both machines. I have given up on RH6.1, and
    gotten a friend to download RH7 and write it to a CD. This boots on the
    source machine, but I don't have enough space on the source to update to it.
    But I can configure the source machine running RH6.1, set it up as an NFS
    server and mount the RH7 CD.

    I took the RH7 bootnet.img and created a boot disk, then drivers.img to
    create a driver disk. After booting the target machine with bootnet.img,
    and inserting the driver disk, I can request an install via an NFS server.
    Then I get an error window that states:

    Failed to insert plip module

    ALT-F3 yields the following:

    extracting pattern 2.2.16-22*/parport.o
    going to insmod parport.o (path is /tmp/modules/parport)

    The last line shown when I do an ALT-F4 is:

    <4>VFS: Can't find a valid MSDOS filesystem on dev 02:00

    Any help would be appreciated !!!!

    Thanks

    See Ya

    Have Fun
