as far as i know it is posible to install the potato from a pcmcia device. BUT the pcmcia isn't integrated into the kernel. for that reason you have to setup the basic install from the disks (about 11 disks) and then install the rest of the system from the pcmcia device zip, network or anything else. --- the most of the pcmcia will be integrated into the kernel in 2.4.0 kernel.
if i made a mistake and since potato is released and changed something please correct me... "Daniel E. Baumann" wrote: > > Hello all. I have a question regarding installing debian on my laptop.
