Is a guinea pig wanted for the woody boot floppies?
I just bought myself a used notebook (it's a Compaq Armada
V300) and I'd like to make a straight install of woody on it,
without going the path of installing potato and then
upgrading.
I downloaded the latest boot floppies that I could find on
aph's homepage (3.0.11-2001-08-13), but unfortunately, I
couldn't install PCMCIA, after passing it the necessary
parameters.
The installer told me that it had problems setting up cardmgr
and I eventually found the reason was that the pcmcia
directory tree was not under /target/lib/modules/2.2.19. In
fact, there was no sign of pcmcia anywhere near this path.
I also tried grabbing the drivers.tgz file to see its contents
and, indeed, I can see no PCMCIA related modules there, apart
from the pcmcia.tgz file containing an script.
I need the PCMCIA modules to work with my network card (a very
common, ubiquitous vanilla Realtek 8139-based PCMCIA card) so
that I can continue my install after I've got the base system
installed.
Also, I see that some modules do not have a description, and
that I know what some of them are. How could I fill in the
blanks?
I might even help with some translations to Brazilian
Portuguese, if wanted (and the deadlines allow me to -- I'm
quite swamped with work right now).
Any feedback is welcome. If you people don't want anybody else
bothering you, please let me know and I'll just go away. :-)
[]s, Roger...
