I get about 2 1/2 or 3 screens of stuff. I also did grep eth
/var/log/messages > eth-messages.txt, which worked. What's more, so did cp
eth-messages.txt /home/btth and then (as root in /home/btth) chown -v btth
eth-messages.txt, which told me it had changed ownership to btth.
But I can't seem to get K3B to see that my CD drive (an HP CD-Writer) on
that machine can in fact burn CDs; nor can I dig up from ancient memory
how to copy it onto a floppy.
Therefore, since the old P2 also can't see the router (I checked the
cables!), and therefore isn't likely to be able to do scp, I can't seem to
get the file into anywhere I can email or post it from. Catch-22 ...

lsmod from a root prompt gets me "bash: lsmod: command not found"
cat /etc/modprobe.conf from the same root prompt gets :
alias eth0 e100
alias eth1 3c501
