First, note that the word is 'potato'; this might help locating the
archive.
It might be easier to install slink; it's certainly easier to get
networking running when
you have a full system installed. In a similar situation, I installed
slink and then compiled the pcmcia modules by hand so that it would
recognize my network card. I found that relatively painless.
Best luck,
Dylan Thurston
