hello hello, ive been trying to install potato for a few days and hope this email list will be the trick..
as i know we're all busy ill try to be brief. i have a dell inspiron 7000 laptop with a PCMCIA card to connect to DSL via DHCP (thats what the DSL tech support guy told me last night). the ethernet/DSL card works with win98. i was going to install my old cds - slink (2.1) but someone on #debian (irc.debian.org) told me just to do an install of potato; this sounded good because for some crazy reason i couldnt get my mouse working in X (new bios maybe). anyway, i have windows on 2 megs of the partition and want to put debian on the other 6. after a while i got the base sytem installed (by downloading the files to the win98 partition and installing from a "previously mounted disk"). side note: the base install was rather tricky and is something id like to work on... anyway, now im stuck. i dont know how to install the rest of the system. more specifically, i dont know how to get apt to understand that there's a PCMCIA card there just dying to connect to some ftp site with the files on it. any suggestions? is it possible? (im assuming so... ;) again: dell inpiron 7000 laptop 3com pcmcia card DSL/DCHP tons of patience... much MUCH thanks ahead of time, all the best, ari [EMAIL PROTECTED]
