We really need more information than "it fails" to help you. However, I suggest that you try the daily built floppy images, as the beta4 ones are old and there is a kernel mismatch between the kernel used by those floppys and the kernel modules they download from the archive. You can get the updated floppys here: http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/ > If it is not possible to fix up the boot floppies, is it possible to > plug in a PCMCIA CDROM and boot up with a floppy that jumps over to > using a CD ? I don't know if this is possible, just a thought. Sure, this should be supported by the installer. You'll need to load both the net-drivers floppy and the cd-drivers floppy to get this to work, then is should see your pcmcia CD drive. -- see shy jo
