It's quite counterintuitive; I have no intention of loading network hardware drivers during the install. If PCMCIA is such a large set, perhaps a separate pcmcia-drivers floppy image is required? If that existed, and was listed, I would have known to use it. I'll try net-drivers soon. > Since you boot from floppy, I assume that you can't boot from CD? That's correct. The CD drive is a PCMCIA device, and the BIOS doesn't allow booting from PCMCIA. -- \ "When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. | `\ Then I realised that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole | _o__) one and asked Him to forgive me." -- Emo Philips | Ben Finney <ben@benfinney.id.au>
