Hi dear,
please excuse my bad english, but it´s long time ago that I learned the language.
So I give you my questions: I buyed 2 notebooks on a second-hand-market. One is the HP Omnibook 6100, the other HP Omnibook 500.
In both machines I cannot go to the setup, because there is a password. I do
Whew. What a PITA. I now have Debian SID with kernel-image-2.6.4-1-686
running on my old Dell laptop.
I booted off of LindowsOS Live CD. I then grabbed debootstrap from the
sid distribution, and ran it. It failed multiple times finding certain
packages, which I downloaded by hand and then rera

Ok, here's how pcmcia ethernet works for me.
I have installed the networking system. ifconfig shows the "lo"
interface, I can ping and telnet to 127.0.0.1, and things like that.
I hope yours is at that point also. If not, please make sure that you
can.
I then have entries in /etc/network/inter

That seemed extremely strange to me as well. That said, I have a
strong suspicion where this came from. I originally booted from a
"freedos" floppy, to wipe out the drive with fdisk from my original
Xandros install, which the Debian CD couldn't install to. Perhaps that
left the partition marked

This is not a laptop specific problem, but it's quite important.

I installed Debian 3.0 on an Inspiron 3500 recently. At the time, I had no
ethernet adapter installed and couldn't configure the networking. However, I
did configure the PCMCIA slots .
I can't find out how to go back to configure the networking and Ethernet
card now that Debian 3.0 is installed. I

Ouch. Yesterday I mentioned that I never used the lilo command before.
Of course, what was implied (but not stated) was that I have never
edited (nor looked at) lilo.conf before either. I realize now how
stupid the configuration below was.
Thank you very much for pointing that out. Ironically,
