Floppy is showing some signs of life.. Which Boot/Root images do I use?  Keep in mind this is a PCMCIA floppy drive, so it might not recognise a second disk.   Sam  >From: Rob <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: Samuel Halperin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >CC: debian-laptop@lists.debian

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
