Now you've got a feel for it, try installing "kernel-packge" and use
make-kpkg to compile your kernel. This makes a custom .deb file containing
your custom kernel and modules, which can be installed using dpkg, and saves
you having to manually do much of the work.

Yes, I switched to pump as well, but only because dhclient stopped working
one day (after I did something it didn't like, no doubt). For some unknown
reason, pump worked where dhclient didn't, so I stuck with it.
I'll post back if I figure it out.

Assuming you do want to use kernel 2.4.18 (not 2.4.8), get a copy of Debian
Woody. Download using "jidgo" as described at
http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/ - it works great.
There are two kernel options for woody; the "standard" install uses kernel

Thanks for the link, but it appears that USB Zip drives are not bootable, at

Hmmm.. I'd thought of looking into a netboot as a solution, but have no idea
of how to do it. There did not appear to be any such option in the BIOS,
which has only "Floppy, CD, Hard Drive" as boot options. Having neither the
floppy or CD, this of course leaves...

Thanks for all your suggestions.
To make things more difficult, of course, we cannot now install Win98 over
Win2k, because the Win98 installer will not run from within NT, i.e., it too
would require a boot disk or bootable CD. It seems that Win2k won't easily
budge.
The best recommendation I have

My brother-in-law has recently purchased a Sony Vaio SR(??) subnotebook. The
computer has no internal cd or floppy (though I do have a USB floppy from my
laptop), but does have a PC-Card D-Link network card, and a USB ZIP drive.
More unfortunately, it came pre-installed with Windows ME.
