My own experience was, that many older Toshibas are not working with 2.2xx STANDARD-Kernels. - Selfcompiled works great. So, if you have problems with Hardware detection and somthing like this, use a more recent Kernel and change it after... Oh yes, I had to boot with loadlin.exe the installation on a T1950CT Try it and you get a compressin error... because a loadlin.exe bug. Download the updated loadlin_...deb and all is working fine... >> But I suggest you to look at <http://www.ebay.com/> for a memory >> card with 8 or 16 MBytes because you have only 4 MBytes inside >> and 4 MBytes as card (I think) > >Right (4+4), but I'm not quite into buying stuff for this piece of >archaeology... ;-) Why ? I have bought a 16Mbyte Card for my Laptop for 6 ¤ + 4,20 ¤ Shipping + 3,15 ¤ for the Bank = 13,35 ¤ And it works great. Then I have gotten a cheep PCMCIA-USB-Adapter v1.1 for around 10 ¤ and now I can use a 120 GByte HD on my old T1950CT ;-) I need it, if I go to Clients ans mus make services... ...and dont like to download everthin from the Net !

It is not possibel ! I know tomsrtbt and it is NOT Debian. If you boot the Debian-Floppy, and you get the PCMCIA-Card go to the second console and type: ifconfig eth0 You will see, that the Card is up and running. (using bf2.4) E.g.: eth0 Protokoll:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 00:60:B0:5E:B1:E5 inet Adresse:192.168.1.71 Bcast:192.168.1.95 Maske:255.255.255.224 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:6018561 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:5801700 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Kollisionen:97533 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:100 RX bytes:2169679680 (2.0 GiB) TX bytes:1882092517 (1.7 GiB) Interrupt:11 Basisadresse:0xfce0 Now type: route -n and you will see, that there is a route missing.
