Chris: I am using whatever was downloaded and installed when I followed the proceedures from http://www.progeny.com/archive/debian/support/conversion.html (please see the actual text at the bottom) I am real new at this and am often confused by the terms and the tendency of folks to skip steps, leave out critical information, and to use unexplained terms. For example, the instructions below fail to mention that there will be errors and to ignore them as some elements require others to be in place before they may be handled -- thus the need to cycle through the process several times. Later in the instructions they say to "Re-run the above command until no more packages are installed". You will note that they speak in the singular, inferring that they mean only the immediately previous command. The end result is that I have spent an entire day and am no better off than when I started, indeed worse, since I now have no sound and no pcmcia whereas before it was only sound that I lack ... but now I cannot download anything new to my laptop. I need to know if I can repair the damage this process did to my pcmcia setup (3Com 589c needs to be recognized at the moment) or if I have to again (for the third time) reinstall Progeny-Debian from the CD and start over. Help please? Thanks!
