Help with boot floppies wanted?

[Rogério Brito <rbrito@ime.usp.br>]

	Is a guinea pig wanted for the woody boot floppies?

	I just bought myself a used notebook (it's a Compaq Armada
	V300) and I'd like to make a straight install of woody on it,
	without going the path of installing potato and then
	upgrading.

	I downloaded the latest boot floppies that I could find on
	aph's homepage (3.0.11-2001-08-13), but unfortunately, I
	couldn't install PCMCIA, after passing it the necessary
	parameters.

	The installer told me that it had problems setting up cardmgr
	and I eventually found the reason was that the pcmcia
	directory tree was not under /target/lib/modules/2.2.19. In
	fact, there was no sign of pcmcia anywhere near this path.

	I also tried grabbing the drivers.tgz file to see its contents
	and, indeed, I can see no PCMCIA related modules there, apart
	from the pcmcia.tgz file containing an script.

	I need the PCMCIA modules to work with my network card (a very
	common, ubiquitous vanilla Realtek 8139-based PCMCIA card) so
	that I can continue my install after I've got the base system
	installed.

	Also, I see that some modules do not have a description, and
	that I know what some of them are. How could I fill in the
	blanks?

	I might even help with some translations to Brazilian
	Portuguese, if wanted (and the deadlines allow me to -- I'm
	quite swamped with work right now).

	Any feedback is welcome. If you people don't want anybody else
	bothering you, please let me know and I'll just go away.  :-)


	[]s, Roger...
