Hello, I have recently purchased a used Sony 505tr laptop. I am a regular Slackware user, but I'd like to try out Debian on it. Can anybody give me some tips?
I have successfully managed to boot off of the official 2.2 cd, using 'boot: linux ide1=0x180,0x386' which causes the Sony PCGA-CD51/A cdrom drive to be mapped to /dev/hdc. In particular, I am somewhat confused about the "Configure Device Drivers" and "Configure PCMCIA Support" sections. Do I actually need to do anything there? If so, which ones should I select? I have the floppy drive, the port replicator, the cdrom drive, and a Linksys ethernet card. Are there any other issues I need to be aware of? Thanks, Jeff Bradberry
