Here is an example I found on google of a floppy diskette installation for debian. Follow the rules for "Install Foreign Modules." That should get ya going for the tulip module. Link: http://pigtail.net/nicholas/linux/debian.html Floppy installation: at the stage "Install Kernel and Drivers Modules", select /dev/fd0, you will be asked to insert the driver-1 diskette. You will be asked "Configure Device Driver Module", at this stage, choose "Alternate1 Install Foreign Modules", insert the "Intel gige driver diskette" and answer No to "skip". Then, choose "Configure Device Driver Modules" choose "net" and select the "e1000" driver. -Donnie Jones http://www.darthik.com On Wed, 2003-11-05 at 11:20, Tom wrote: > Hi list, > > i am trying to install debian on a dell inspiron 5000e, using netinst > cd image. > > however the pcmcia xircom card won't work.
