potato, nfs, and pcmcia



Greetings. I am in the process of loading potato (2.2r0) from CD's onto a
laptop. The machine currently has no OS, but in the past did run
slink.  There is no CD-ROM drive, but to load slink I used the rescue/root
floppies then NFSed the CD from another machine.

Now when I do that, though, I don't get NFS as an option for the
installation; furthermore, "Configure PCMCIA Devices" returns simply "an
error occurred", and even if I use floppy-based base install I am never
able to install pcmcia and therefore the network.

Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Many thanks.
