Bug#60887: pcmcia modules and other things
Hi,

Fair enough, but one of the last steps should delete the modules from
/lib/modules/2.2.x/. Because of the dependancy errors on bootup, also
I requested no modules to be installed.

harddisk, /dev/hdb1 ext2. this had the 2 *.tgz and 2 *.bin files.
Note: used rescue and root floppies to start the install and the rescue
disk had a new kernel I compiled.

When installing drivers.tgz or base.tgz, there are 5 input screens. First
screens to selected harddisk and /dev/hdb1 are ok. But after that there
are 3 screens to select path, used /home/ftp/deb/. Only 1 screen is
needed for this.

Think it was the 2nd and 3rd screen to select path.
