I'm trying to install potato on my new Dell. Not having a CD, I'm trying to use the ftp method and am keeping the bootstrap packages on a 'Dows partition. I've been running slink on an HP laptop for over a year, but this is my first experience with potato -- which I think I need because my xircom ethernet pcmcia card is too new for the slink pcmcia-cs packages.
Anyway, the install is failing at the point where I configure PCMCIA. I get an error message about not finding something in /lib/modules/2.2.13. It's failing only in that pcmcia won't work; I can complete the install up to the point where I need access to the net. If I reboot the machine and poke around, I find that I can install the base pcmcia_root (or *_base or *_core? -- I'm back to running 'Dows in order to send email and don't remember) but that trying to install any other module in ./pcmcia fails because of unresolved symbols. If I understand depmod correctly, they all depend on ds.o, and when I try to ismod this I get "no socket driver installed!" Two questions: 1) What went wrong with configuring pcmcia support in the install? 2) What do I do to get the socket driver installed? I don't remember any install options having to do with sockets. Thanks! --Eric House PS This laptop was able to get online running slink using an older 3com card: I've done this correctly at least once. ****************************************************************************** * From the desktop of: Eric House, [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Check out Crosswords for PalmOS: <http://www.peak.org/~fixin/xwords> * * "The instructions said 'Win98 or better' -- so I installed Linux" * ******************************************************************************
