You'll need to configure the pcmcia-cs package. It normally takes some tweaking to get everything to work. Look in /etc/pcmcia-cs directory and obviously the /usr/doc/pcmcia-cs documentation. The cardinfo utility can help give you and idea of whats going on. Also look in /var/log/daemon.log (or possibly another file in the same directory) for status information. > 3) From INSTALL.HTML, I know the installation is not complete yet even > though I have finished installing the base system.

The use the ftp option from dselect to upgrade your installation to the latest release. I've installed Debian on a few notebooks. Write if you need more. --- Jean Pierre
