CD's viewed both directly, and via a Virtual_CD image, under Win2K. See
below for CD listings viewed under Windows.

At the moment, I've also got a box booted from that Slackware CD, and
then I viewed the CD (/CDROM), the normal directory and file names
appear, so I gather full Rock Ridge support is not present under Win2k.
Interestingly, the entire _RR_MOVE directory disappears as well, along
with all the apparent modules. However, I checked the "kernel-modules"
package you mentioned, and it ALSO contains the e1000.o module (the one
I particularly wanted), so apparently the problem is simply that Slack /
Hotplug / whatever is not recognizing the NIC. I assume manually
installing and loading the module should fix that.

OK, will try that, since it will give me a cleaner, easier installation
(I hope).

Thanks -- I believe that answers all my important questions for now.
The purpose of the _RR_MOVE directory, hidden when viewed under Linux,
is a curiosity, but not an issue.

Thanks!
