A Challenge...
Hello all, this is my first post to the list. It is now almost 2AM Friday night here in Philadelphia. I am leaving for Israel Sunday morning, and I am hoping to take my brand new used Toshiaba Libretto 100CT with me to keep a journal on. I don't need anything fancy, but something that boots from the hard disk and lets me write text in something small like VI.. well that would be just perfect. I can worry about network support and X and everything else later. Available to me: A machine running Windows, a burned copy of the Potato disk 1 ISO image, and a modem connection. The toshiba has a PCMCIA floppy drive which I will be installing from. Again, I only really need a small text editor at this point, and a way to install a small kernel to the hard disk, since I don't want to take the floppy with me.

Hello Samuel, I would install all the base floppies at the following FTP address: ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/2.2.20.0.1-2000-12-03/images-1.44/ I don't happen to have my potato CD handy, so I can't verify if these files exist on the official CD set..

Re: A Challenge...
I agree, the debian-basesystem holds enough for you to play with. I don't know if it holds vi or vim or vni, it probably has elvis-tiny on it. So that's something you might want to upload from the net. That will do fine, if you include the pcmcia-cs packages as well, network support is easily done as well. Have fun on your journey and merry Christmas.
