[Gllug] Evil Compaq EPK500 and Debian Potato

[Postill, Robert]

Hi,
Has anyone had any bother with installing Debian 2.2r3 on a Compaq EPK500? I
have tried to install it no less than a dozen times and have had no joy.
More annoyingly Mandrake 8 goes on without a whisper.  Specifically
/dev/mouse isn't created and the LAN card (an Intel EtherExpress Pro 100
with management) picks up it's DHCP setting no problem but then promptly
won't talk to any other machine on the LAN.

I've had a quick look on Google and Compaq's support site with no joy.

Thanks in advance.
Robert.
