Running Linux on BOOK-PC
myline

Hello, there! Few days ago(I'm writing this on Sat May 12 15:52:52 JST 2001) our lab bought 3 cute BOOK-PCs! The spec can be found at www.toyomur.co.jp or spec.html . Well, there's quite few options available on this page, our purchased PCs had the following spec:
   Model Name: SF-631G(No special meaning)
   SiS 630E Chipset
   Celeron 800 MHz(FC-PGA/FSB66MHz)
   128Mb(1024Mb)
   SiS 900 10Base-T/100 Base-TX Fast Ethernet(On-board)
   56K V.90(On-board) 
   CD-ROM 52x
   HDD 40G
   Sound Controller C-Media CMI8738(On-board)
   VGA 640x480 - 1920x1440(On-board)
I was only interested in fixing the following things:
   1. Ethernet Controller(without it, BOOK-PC is meaningless to me) 
   2. VGA controller(want to run X?)
   3. Sound controller(hei, want to listen to music, right?)
I installed Red Hat Linux 7.0.1(Fisher) to my BOOK-PC(used 20GB). Rest(20GB) gone to Windows 2000 professional. Win 2000 gave me no problem cause www.toyomura.co.jp provided all those drivers. However, when I tried Red Hat Linux 7.0.1, I found that it can't recognize my Ethernet Card, VGA controller or Sound Controller. So, I had to do the following things:
