<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>well, as I plod further into this adventure, I've
discovered that the machines I'm using for clustering have built in SiS network
cards, which have a kernel module for their use..</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well, from what I can see, FAI doesn't support
kernel modules on the boot floppy... So, several quick questions come to
mind</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>a) am I correct in this assumption, that
there is no way to make the boot floppy support these built in network
cards?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>b) any way to compile support for a kernel
module directly into the kernel?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>c) Is my only real option here to go out and buy
additional network cards for these machines?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and finally</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>d) if so, can anyone suggest decent cheapies?
Cost is definately a factor </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for any input or hints...</FONT></DIV>
