How come?  I had RedHat 4.2 running problem free on my 110, and I'm a real
newbee. EVERYTHING worked as advertized - see http://toy.cabi.net for a few
good starting links. (Ok, there was a problem, it didn't like the 15MB
miniflash on which I had WFW311, it gave me all kinds of "time out" and "drive
not ready" errors. I guess the problems could have been fixed, but as I said,
I am a real newbee.)

Have a look at the links from the URL above. You'll see someone had the 110
"NFS root" through a radio LAN card.
