Here's how I did it: 1. Made a FAT partition at the end of the disk, in the space normally reserved for suspend-to-disk. (I used PartitionMagic for this, but fdisk under DOS might work as well.) Note for the foolish: Don't suspend right now ;-) 2. Stuck all the files needed for a disk install on that FAT partition. (I think they need to be in a directory called \DEBIAN - check inst. manual) 3. Booted with the Debian boot disk. (Since SYSLINUX uses BIOS fd routines, you can load a kernel and ramdisk from a pcmcia disk. You just can't do anything with it once yer in Linux.) 4. Installed modules and base from FAT system. 5. Installed everything else. (I used PLIP and NFS to my desktop for the non-base debs, but that's kind of slow and unreliable. If you have a PCMCIA network card, now's the time to use it.) 6. Once Linux was up, I changed the FAT partition to "unknown type". Then I could suspend/resume again without destroying files that I cared about. Tell me if this works for you, or if it doesn't. Also email if you have questions about getting the hardware to work. A lot of it's different 70<->100, but some is the same or similar. Hope this helps.
