i have just installed solaris 10 on a 60 gb hard drive. now im trying to install my nic driver but when i put in the floppy disk for the nic card it cant read it, so then i found that i have to mount the floppy drive and i tried putting in the mount command but i dont know where to mount it and if i should make up a file name for it or what? i followed the instructions carefully on how to mount a device but it just gives me "command not found" also, the light for my floppy drive just stays on, even when i take the floppy disk out. My post is fine though. then i tried putting the floppy disk back into a winxp machine to put the driver on cdrom(cause solaris sees my cdrom) and it said "you need to format this first". i said no but now i dont know how to get the data from the disk anymore cause if i reformat everything will be destroyed. so i decided to go online and get the driver from the internet. first i just burned it as a zip. then i tried doing the "gunzip filename.zip | xfa(or watever) " command and that did not work. i dont remember the error but basically it told me that i was an a**hole. then i tried unzipping it in windows and then burned the uncompressed folder on cdrom. i then put that folder in etc/dev/ and then tried the "usr/bin/something/make install" when i was in that dir. it either gives me "cannot make this file" or "unrecognized command 'make' " i did a "chmod" on all the files that i needed to and i also did the su command. i am logged in as root as well. the driver files that are in there are *.c, *.h, and a *.ko file. the nic card is an encore realtek 8139c (enl832-tx-rent). i think device name should be rl0 or rl but i cant find it anywhere in unix.

-I know i need to read more books but i just wanna get this done and i feel that im so close but i just dont have an understanding of where everything goes.
