Never used SLIP (just PPP) and even less I know about NFS and portmapper/rpc. If you have enough HD space you could copy the CD image on the hard disk, mount it via loopback and install then. That's what I made. With 115000 bps over RS232 line, the image should be transferred overnight. >ifconfig sl0 192.168.84.2 pointopoint 192.168.84.1 up If you do get TCP/IP working anyway, I'd probably try putting HTTP server in to the another computer and try installing from that. Never done that actually, though. One possibility (I don't remember where I read about this--probably Laptop-HOWTO) is to open the laptop, attach the harddisk to another computer and install the Debian there. For this you need to have experience with computer hardware, preferably the maintenance manual (at least IBM has maintenance manuals available via FTP for their Thinkpads), and an IDE converter to connect your laptop harddisk to desktop PC. -- | Tuukka Toivonen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [PGP public key | Homepage: http://www.ee.oulu.fi/~tuukkat/ available] | Try also finger -l [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Studying information engineering at the University of Oulu +----------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
