I'm completely new to the Linux OS, and I'm trying to get some server software to work with a new LAN card, on an old P3 PC.
I have installed the above onto this old PC, so it's wiped Windows & replaced it with Linux + the server software.
I fitted the new LAN card, but I now need to install its driver.
So how do I do that ?
How do I get the driver from the CD that came with the card to this PC ?
The PC has a floppy & CD drive & USB.
The LAN card is a: TP-Link TF-3239DL
Which comes with a driver CD which has this Linux folder: Linux-2.4.x
with these files: 8139too.c & Makefile
I've found 2 similar (but older) files on their website, which also has a readme.txt file, that explains how to install the driver, but this does not make any sense to me.
When I boot the PC, I have to login, and then I get the prompt:
[root@localhost ~]#
Thanks
