hi daniel...
another silly idea...
if the idea is to get cdrom capability to the laptop...
there is pcmcia-to-IDE converters... ( $10 range )
( used by flash disks to look like regular IDE disks
( used on pc104 stuff...but it was pcmcia card interface we used
- you'd also need a pcmcia extend
hi again...
oopps re-reading...
if you wanna burn cdroms... yeah...prices of them is slightly higher...(
$60-$75 range for silly ide stuff )...
but if you need debian cdroms, why not get um $3.oo range from places
like cheapbytes.com or other places that sell linux iso images

hi ya GP...
what kind of problems did you encounter ???
- use the debian boot floppy to boot debian..
( trick is to get it online ... get a (default) supported ethernet card...
- than get it online and apt-get update, upgrade...
- ebay bids of $80 - $90 for cdroms is ridiculous...

Well, here goes. I have installed debian a number of
