OTOH, this situation can happen. If he does not have a normal floppy driver or CD-ROM drive, and the BIOS is emulating El-Torito over PCMCIA, then there is a problem since we do not put any pcmcia stuff on the rootdisk. I suggest to create a small partition somewhere, format with vfat or ext2 and copy the drivers.tgz file on this filesystem. Keep the directory structure! Make sure you get the same drivers.tgz file as the flavor you are using. Gruss/Regards, Eduard. -- Profitip No. 413: Zeit sparen durch Rebooten im Hintergrund.
