<P>Hi</P>
<P>Thanks - Yesterday I Installed Redhat 8.0 with no issues and will download and install the fedora core from within that. Additionally - after re-reading the docs - I will need to upgrade my RAM before I do this, I only have 128M currently and I read I need a minimum of 256 M.</P>
<P>Thanks for your help.</P>

<DIV></DIV>>>All of my linux experience is with Redhat versions. Any

<DIV></DIV>>>Can I preload a driver for this?

<DIV></DIV>>>Any suggestions -except "buy a new card" welcome. This card or card
