laptop install help
I'm installing 1.3.1 from floppy to a Toshiba Satellite Pro 400CS, and am
having some trouble.
The actual install went fine, up until the end where you get dropped in
dselect. I installed the dpkg-ftp package (and all its dependencies, like
Perl), but can't get my modem to work. (Since the machine has no cd-rom or
ethernet card, I plan on installing the rest of the system via modem, so
getting this to work is essential).
I've got a Megahertz PCMCIA 14.4 fax/modem card that was recognized as com2
by the win311 software that came with the laptop. There were no cua?
devices in /dev so I made cua0 and cua1 using the MAKEDEV script, made a
/dev/modem symlink from cua1, but the "pon" command still dies on me.
I copied minicom off another machine and tried it, and haven't gotten it to
recognize the modem, so I figure there must be something else to it - do I
also have to install some PCMCIA software, maybe a module?
Thanks for any and all help,
m
