i have no luck with my
   intel etherexpress 100 / e100  driver
link is ok but no network-connection
no ping, http, nfs, ftp, ... is possible

with the rhl 9  bootdisk.img, drvnet.img  no problems


then i have to cdrecording at least cd #1 for a minimal 
english-installation,
german-mini-inst need 3 packages from cd #2 and no chance to come 
further without cd #2  :-(



while burning,
