Exactly what do you have installed? I installed on a couple of Tecra laptops by putting base on a dos formatted partition I later used for swap. I only needed to have the two floopies and mount the dos partition. I also put the pcmcia-modules and pcmcia-cs packages on the same partition so I only had to do a dpkg -i on those packages and I had networking! I used dselect's ftp method to do the rest of the install, where I grabbed pcmcia-source so I could mess around with custom kernels of various revs and recompile the pcmcia modules. The important thing to tell you about this setup is to _not_ configure the network in the dinstall process. That will only confuse the pcmcia startup. Let the pcmcia package take care of configuring the network. Good luck. Richard G.
