Can someone help me to install Debian on a portable (PCMCIA, no CDROM)? Is there a "how to install with PCMCIA mini-FAQ" that I missed?
I've got as far as working out that the default kernel is compiled with PCMCIA support, that there exists a pcmcia-cs*.deb package, but the boot time network configure fails as there is no PCMCIA module loaded, nor does it seem to come with base. I could install base, copy over the pcmcia-cs*.deb package on floppy and I assume use dkpg to install it - only the man page for dkpg says use dselect and dselect want to install the lot. Any pointers, I can't be alone with this problem? [ for background, I run six Linux boxes, two of the desktop boxes now run Debian, the other will soon, and the other three machines are portables so I need to know how to do this right.] Tony Robinson
