In fact, if you `fill in all the blanks' it will be just like you installed a .deb; if you leave some spo

SCO stands for Santa Cruz Operation, which still exists. They produce a UNIX which was once far more popular than it is today... One of the placed I worked last summer got rid of all the machines they had left running SCO some time ago. The driver is not compatible with Linux. Go ahead and compule

SCO is Santa Cruz Operation, formerly a Xerox site in Santa Cruz, California. I'd be highly surprised if the driver works in Linux, but the ne2000 driver seems to handle a wide variety of compatible cards. If it doesn't work, ne2000 clones are dirt cheap these days (I paid $10 U.S. for a brand new
