I seem to have run into a small problem in attempting to install SuSe 5.3
on a Hewlett Packard OmniBook 5700CTX. I have a Xircom PCMCIA 10/100-Ready
network card, and the standard HP CD-ROM and 3.5 floppy drive modules.
When I boot using the SuSE boot floppy in the 3.5 drive, the kernel doesn't
recognize the CD-ROM because it was not installed since I was using the 3.5
floppy drive. Secondly the Xircom PCMCIA card is not in the list of supported
network cards. There is a '-- More modules --' option but that just pulls in
the same list of kernel modules. There is nothing in the SuSE manual about
what this '-- More modules --' option is, or how to utilize it.
So I am stuck, I cannot install from CD-ROM because the kernel doesn't see
it at boot time (since it is not plugged in), and I cannot install over the
network since there is no Xircom module.
Any suggestions?
