If you have a PCMCIA nework card it is also possible to put the necessary
modules (plus two or three other PCMCIA related files as far as I
remember) on a Debian boot disk, start up the standard installation
procedure, and spawn a shell from the installation menu.
Then you can load the PCMCIA modules by hand and have your network
connection. You can even backup your existing DOS partition over the net.
I did so with a Debian 2.1 on my Libretto 100ct. I can try to reconstruct
the exact procedure if you are interested.
