I tried to install Gentoo on my laptop last night but my CDROM is
flaky... sometimes it can read from it but sometimes it fails.
The bad part is when doing something like mke2fs and it fails, then
something (bash?) remembers that and doesn't try to spin up the CD
again.
Kbob pointed out this set of instructions...
Installation from a boot floppy HOWTO
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=8690
So now my task is to find a good floppy boot disk that has PCMCIA and
network modules.
Any recommendations?
Should I build my own? I can make a kernel for generic x86 with pcmcia
and build a rescue floppy, can't I?
