Setting up PLIP
Hi all,
I have this old notebook (no NIC or CD-ROM drive) that I'd like
to install Debian on. A floppy install is out of the question,
and I don't have a dial-up account either, so a modem-install is
a no-go too.
So I was perusing the various articles on the LG homepage, and I
find one that walks one through a PLIP setup. Cool!
So I go through the motions. I also compile my kernel with lp and
plip as modules (I have two parallel ports though).
But I get an error on booting (one of those SIOD-whatever
errors), but I forgot to reset my /etc/issue (which is set to
clear the screen) so I couln't write it down. When I run modconf
and try to install the plip module it just hangs there.
Has anyone else taken a look at the LG article, gotten plip to
work, or know of any plip resources?
TIA
