Hi, Thanks to everyone willing to reply to (sometimes annoying ?) questions ! I am not a newbee to Linux, but somewhere in between I guess ...
My system is Debian 1.2 with kernel 2.0.27 and a pcmcia 3c562/563 33.6 LAN/modem card (Olivetti echos p100d). Heaving read the Web page about upgrading to Debian 1.3 from an older version I followed the dpkg-instructions there without any errors. I had just installed pcmcia-cs 2.9.5-3. Before there was no pcmcia package installed. Now I have trouble starting the PCMCIA Card Services (it says: Card Services release does not match). The /sbin/cardmgr dates April 29 and /lib/modules/2.0.27/pcmcia dates Dec 7 1996. Incompatible ? So I cannot access the network for the moment. Upgrading to Debian 1.3 and a new kernel maybe could resolve these incompatibilities. The only problem is that I do not know how to proceed despite the advice given, that (using) dselect should do the rest of the upgrade to Debian 1.3. Up till now I have successfully upgraded the base-files package. For this to succeed I had to copy the package to disk together with the Packages-file of the distribution site. Now dselect shows a "installed" and "available" status (I have done an update in dselect). My old version of Debian came from a cdrom. What should I do now ? Which packages should I install and which not? If I use the Packages-file from the distribution site, then I must upgrade all my packages ? Ot could I have a mix of them ? Without having an internet connection it is practically impossible to copy all those packages one by one --> floppy --> disk.
