Installing Linux on Dell Latitude CP Laptop

[Robert M. Woods]

Hi everyone,
  I am trying to install Linux on my laptop, and have been experiencing
confusion.  I choose the option to install PCMCIA device drivers (for
laptops), and then it asks to insert a Supplementary Install disk.  However,
this disk was not included with my package.  The only disk I have is the
boot disk.  Has anyone ever installed Linux on a laptop like mine??
  Thanks in advance, Rob
