Thanks for the reply. I know it is not the right list
for redhat 9 but since i have spent lot of time
installing fedora-core which I couldn't. I did not see
any best option other than this for redhat because i
had nowhere else to go. I mounted floppy drive and
windows VFAT drive. It works. :). Regarding
ifconfig, I get follwing output.

lo Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0

Also when i run /sbin/lspic, I get following output:

As you can see, it is decting the network card I have
here. Let me know what I should do to make the card
work. Thanks.

Finally, I got
burned disks of redhat 9 from a friend. Luckily, I
went pass installation.

So you have Redhat Linux 9 running now? Then this is
the wrong list.
This one is for Fedora users.

Specific NIC model information is required. What does
"/sbin/lspci"
print out for the card?

Does the floppy drive function properly from
Windows[tm]?

which should be ok with redhat, right???

Did you mount the floppy?

You need to mount it; see man mount. For instance:
mount -t vfat
/dev/hda2 /mnt/whatever
 
> I tried cd /dev/hda2 (that is the partition of
FAT32) but it says it
is not a directory.

No, you can't access partitions directly this way. See
man mount.
 
Please use the usual suspects of information
resources. Some parts of
your posting are more than once answered here on the
list for example.
