I've put together an experimental boot/supp disk set for RedHat-5.1 and put
it on my ftp server.  It uses the 5.1.0-pre9 driver.  The only difference
between 5.1.0-pre8 and pre9 is that by default I have disabled MMAP I/O
until I get things sorted out on the Dell 2300 systems.  There are also
kernel RPMS in the boot_disk directory.  These are stock RedHat kernels with
the latest patches applied.  Everything in there was made on a libc5 based
system, so you would probably be best to get the srpm and remake the whole
package if you happen to be on a glibc system (RedHat-5.0 or above).  The
boot disks are experimental, but they should work fine all except for the
pcmcia utils which are libc5 (because I recompiled them) and the redhat-5.1
boot disk has the glibc libraries on it instead.
