Hi All,
I am preety new to Linux world. Determined to escape from Windows to chase Linux though. O.K. I have installed Red Hat 9.0 (from one of the publishers edition - 2 cds) and almost everthing works fine except two items.

1) Newtwork card is not identified while installation. So what are the steps I should follow now to configure this. How can I identify what kind of card
is installed in my pc?? and how to configure it?

2) Sound card is not identified too. Same question, how to identify what card is in my pc and how to configure.

If I have to download any
driver for this, then from where I can get it? and how to apply that drive so that it will start working with my hardware?

Thanks,
Vijay

Could you post just the info from lspci -v that starts with this line.

You may also want to look into alsa. You can find more info here.

If you don't mind can you let me know, how can I make my A: drive to work? It's now copying OR reading anything. (It's SONLY make).

Thanks.

That's a pretty common chipset should worlk with the i810_audio oss module, or the snd-intel8x0 alsa module.
good luck.
