Yeah, get the latest netinstall floppies and you'll be all set. Just be carefull that you actually get the PCMCIA stuff setup. The actual default order of setup will blow right by the PCMCIA stuff. You have been warned. In short, I have no Full Install CDs for debian. I only do netinstalls cause I have good bandwidth. So it can be done quit simply. Get started and post questions, I'll be watching. You needn't use 2.4 with woody if you don't want to. X4 is sweet if you need the fastest DRM stuff for X4 but for the most part it sucks rocks. And yes pump handles DHCP much better in woody than in potato. Personally I got fed up trying to get debian to install on this damn sony vaio with a USB floppy and am installing freebsd via ftp now. It went beautifully. Two floppy images and I am golden. Just my .02 on that. > >I've had some problems in the past getting pcmcia to deal with dhcp on >that machine under debian potato and kernel 2.3.x.
