i just installed on a borg my random rehat KDE install cd i had laying around, only because Win 98 was being a bitch and uninstalling ym drivers every boot.

So i figure old hardware is a ideal linux bot

now im about as n00b as they come with linux besides running it frm a live cd and checking out this and that, i have no idea what to do, last time i installed redhat the network drivers had no problem but it was on a older P4 with intergrated networking this is a P2 with two networking cards both are plugged in i only try one at a time

all i need is for redhat to connect to the internet and let F@H do it all by itself, nothing special, my ubuntu live CD wont boot but it needs 128MB ram to run, couldnt find my morphix or lindows cd so im stuck with redhat or fedora core 4 and redhat is a shorter install so i opted for that

So any of you linux gurus thing you can help, i gott be up in 5 hours so im either gonna need some help now or around 12 EST tommrow

anything to help is apreciated, just if you get it in there before i go to bed i would be uber happy

just a bump to get some input from the afternoon, and not midnight crew

Im not familiar with redhat, but I think KDE has something for internet. If not, check to see if there is a special menu for redhat, I know knoppix has it, and its under internet > network card configure. Thats as best I could help.

You could try this:
knetstart - A simple ethernet setup tool for RedHat systems

Or you could try a distro made for folding.

that would be what i need the most, thanks for the help nerdz and thedemonxanth, ill try out folix and see what it does

Well im running foldix, i got it running downloaded the client , but it cant get and work, something blocked somewhere, im checking my network for any flags saying somethings trying to run and its stoping it, but my old old linksys router shouldnt be doing this, i read and re-read the Foldix instructions trying to figure this out, testnet works fine gets all the packets fine, i mean it did download the client, but just wont get any work

hope i figure this out soon, gotta work the next four days 2 of them are 12 hour shifts
