I have a Toshiba 430CDT laptop, and I installed the base system of Potato on the machine, which seemed to go OK. A few things I do not understand, even after reading all the documentation I could digest.
1. It has a Motorola Marquis ethernet modem PCMCIA card, which is one of the supported cards. 2. At home I can access my ISP via either modem or DSL. 3. I downloaded the base system on my other machine, transfered it to another hard drive partition, and installed from that. Sooooo.. what I don't understand is 4. Why it tells me I don't seem to be using PCMCIA, when clearly I plan to and I have a PCMCIA card already in the slot. 5. How I am supposed to upgrade and install more packages. All of the documentation says not to install other modules that you don't need for the base install, so I have no modules installed for my DSL or modem. Fine, but now in the install it asks how I want to download packages. The choices are CD, which I don't have, or http/ftp, neither of which will work until I get the DSL (or modem) working. 6. My best guess is that I am going to have to manually load the drivers for the modem, configure the modem, then figure out a way to get the DSL drivers working and get the DSL on line before I can go and get more packages. 7. Did I mess up the installation? Should I have installed those modules as part of the base install even though it said not to? Is there a more direct or easier way to do this? Thanks much.
