<div><div></div><div><br></div></div>Thanks fellas for the excellent suggestions. It's funny that "kernel-devel" and "gcc" don't come preinstalled in the Live version. It probably would have made this process a whole lot easier. Since I am working offline I'll try and get the RPMs onto a USB key. My other box is Windows.<div>
<div></div><br></div></blockquote></div><div>No need for devel or gcc on a live CD. Limited space makes for a limited install. Live CD's usually don't provide development tools. The Fedora live CD is specifically for showcasing the user environment. <br>

<br></blockquote></div><br>I have an odd question. Since you guys were able to build the file without any issues can you simply attach it to this thread? You might have noticed that I'm really sparactic with dealing with this issue. My LAN has been hosed for over a month (almost two) and I haven't been on my linux partition since. I'm still dealing with restoring GRUB.<div>
<br></div><div>So; my thinking is whenever I do tackle this that:</div><div><br></div><div>1. I should get the NIC driver figured out, by having that .ko file handy.</div><div>2. This means I either restore GRUB, get back into Fedora 12 and build the file there</div>
<div> a. or get it from you guys</div><div>3. Backup my files and wipe the hard drive!</div><div>3. Once the NIC issue is figured out, install Fedora 13 (use my newly acquired .ko driver to get online) and continue my wonderful adventures in the world of Linux</div>
