I'll check for the patch.  It seems to work OK now, at least for
installing... damn 20.5gb disk doesn't like LILO (Linux partition starts
on cyl 1723) so I haven't been able to use the dang thing yet :)

Windows installed OK (98 SE), but it doesn't like the NIC and it
blue-screens when trying to use the sound card.  Haven't tried the sound
in Linux yet, but Linux *does* like the NIC at least.  "This device is not
working properly".... no sh*t, eh, Gates??
