OK, found a drvblock.img on the RH cd and put it on a seperate disk.  Booted the
install floppy, selected expert mode, put in the extra drivers disk and
ctrl+alt+F2 and try insmod dac960.  Still nothing, worse, expert mode uses the X
install rather than text, so now I couldn't continue with the install.  Tried
again, this time without switching consoles and again it craps out saying there
was no where to install RH to, rebooting...  I guess I could try debian out on
it, but since I'm very unfamiliar with it I don't know how well I can secure it
or how to do upgrades and stuff.

If I could carry this system I'd bring it to an install fest, but it weighs well
over 50lbs and I'm just a skinny little guy.
