Another alternative is a plip (parallel port ip) connection with the machine that has the CD rom drive. I don't have an ethernet card for my laptop (yet) and installing via floppies/plip worked fine. Of course, that doesn't help you get the card working in the other laptop.... -- David Karlin mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://funk48.home.travelin.com Powered by Debian GNU/Linux 2.1
