RE: PCMCIA Installation
You should only need the rescue, root, and driver floppies. The ones I use
are either the reiserfs floppies (6 discs, you can find the images in the
archives of this list), or here:
ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/Debian2.2r3/main/disks-i386/current/ima
ges-1.44/ (6 discs also)
hope this helps.
There are some folks who have made a small (~20MB, I think) 'compact-cd'
imatges, if your laptop supports cd booting. Look at the debian-cd archives
for that info.
the base-?.bin images are pretty much for people with special needs, etc. I
assume. Though back in the day you had to make all the discs yourself.
And you might be able to get away with the 'compact' floppies-- that makes 3
total discs, but I don't know about its pcmcia support. Give it a try!

Is this possible?
Isn't there a simple procedure to get to a debian archive using a
pcmcia network card (or modem) and a couple of floppies, or is it
necessary to mess around creating 16 floppies?!
Thanks for any favourable (or otherwise) replies,,
