Re:Red Hat 8.0 on notebook

My ThinkPad 600X (PIIIM-500) was dual-booting with Windows ME and RedHat 7.3.

I updated the RedHat 7.3 side, made sure dual-booting still worked right, spent a couple hours playing with 8.0 and decided to flush windows and do a full install.

Only problems I've had:

Couldn't get the darn Orinoco Silver card to connect to my access point at work. (I think that may be because I'm not sure what I'm doing.<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:)

Got the 3com pcmcia card to connect to the wire though.

I need to tweak the modem and soundcard some, but otherwise I'm happy.
