Ah, but you'll find other needs. tcpdump, traceroute, strace, gaim, this and that wasn't installed. Ooh, new version of whatever.... Let's see, nothing on the system, no cdrom drive, no floppy drive only a pcmcia port. You aren't getting anything on that system unless the bios can boot off of pcmcia/usb. Alternatively, why don't you take out the mini-ide drive, get a mini-ide to ide converter and copy debian on it. If you have a running debian system, you can just copy it, run lilo and you are good to go.
