Aloooha, The Good News: I have successfully install Linux on my P200. Using Netscape my gameplan was to select dunc2.0 so I could use the dial up and ftp features to download many of your debian packages.
I read somewhere (perhaps the FAQs) that after ppp is installed, the kernel will need to be recompiled (?). If this is true, what's involved here? Being a novice, all I want to do is find the simplest, easiest way to be able to ftp. Here's what I've done so far. I selected and downloaded dunc 2.0 and related support files using Netscape from debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/. The Bad News: Then, using the dselect function, during the Select section, I notice that cpp and netstd were in Broken Standard Packages. I selected them anyway, and proceed to Install. During the Install process I get the "Oh dear missing Part 1" message regarding libc6. So after I checked the version names and numbers, and file sizes which were all correct, I manually ftped libc6, Packages.gz, cpp and netstd from debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/. Upon returning to dselect, completing sections on Access, Update, and Select, during Install I now get the "Oh dear" message regarding libg++27. Could you help me?
