debs, i appreciate all advice/hints given. unfortunately, <air plonk>...still no pcmcia modem </air plonk>. after recompling the kernel and card services, i get a boot but nothing for my modem, which was very "happy" from a potato install, but cannot be recognized after the custom kernel process.
i was really hoping this would work. (it took me 6 months to configure a box to get on the internet. and since then, 11/99, i still have no "sound"--not that live for it, but it's nice to have sometimes.) w/o a custom kernel, i'll never get there. but if i customize the kernel, i'll lose the modem, assuming i re-install potato. (if i can't have a box that can go on the internet, i've basically got a pen w/o ink.) there's gotta be better way for laptops. until then, i get to relish a learning curve that's definitely skewed to the left. thx. later, bentley taylor. // Brian Mays wrote: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Sean 'Shaleh' Perry) wrote: > > > Debian kernels, the Debian way -- why is this not documented > > somewhere?
