CentOS - Oct 2007 - CentOS to support ICH9

Hi,
full ICH9 support for Centos 5 can be found
http://fs12.vsb.cz/hrb33/pub/ Take it as a workaround until CentOS 5.1
is released. I hope ICH9 to be included in this version. Support is done
by backporting from new kernel versions. Delta file is created with
mkdeltaiso from CentOS-5.0-i386-bin-DVD.iso, so full image can be
created with applydeltaiso.
Regards,
David Hrb??

Hi Jake,
thanks. Maybe I could extend those install DVD with some rpms. I vote
for these two for now:
e1000
r8198
