[Gllug] Almost but not quite

[George F.Saxby]

Hi,
 After what seems an age I managed to get Linux on my venerable old thinkpad  
760ED. I did it by using a pcmcia boot disk from deadRat 6.2.& FTP the rest 
18hours worth for 800Mb  I did try SuSe who required a minimum of 50+Mb of 
RAM for the same task & refused to go on with less. Debian Potato said yup we 
can do that provided you supply some parameters for the Xircon pcmcia card  
tulip driver I gave it what windows had used for memory & irq  which it 
promptly spat out & refused to go further.

	Has anybody else got a tried & proven method of net (internet/ local ) using 
a distro with floppy / pcmcia access only.
 TIA

to all who chucked in their 2c on PHP & MySQL thanks but I passed the buck 
which means I can actually go and browse the books you recomended rather than 
ordering blind Thanks again.
