I not sure what the problem is but when I needed to install on my T
2130cs, I copied the base install files to a DOS partition . The
rescue/install disk will mount the DOS partition. Once that is done you
can install the base system and load the the driver modules for your
cdrom.

Hi,
I'm running debian 2.2 with kernel 2.4.2 with APM installed. It works fine if
I suspend it and bring it back afterwards. But today after I unsuspended it,
pppd wouldn't start up, and printed something like 'SLP safety enabled' or
something similar, maybe SLR. But what's this safety enabled
