Booting from pcmcia dvdrom

Craigwd · 04-01-2004, 11:22 PM

I have a Toshiba Libretto 110 CT with a floppy drive. I want to install Debian Linux on it. I was wondering if there are any third party floppy disk images that support chain loading to a pcmcia dvdrom. I ask this because I don't have a port replicator and thus pcmcia is the only way to go at the moment.

I think there is a set of debian boot floppies with pcmcia support... it won't directly boot from cd, but will allow you to install from it.

What web site do I get the floppy images from?

See section 4.2.2 of installation guide http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual

It still doesn't say in the install guide which flavor includes pcmcia support.
