Mandrake 10 install & pcmcia FLOPPY??

johngriff · 05-09-2004, 02:00 PM

Installing Mandrake 10 on a Dell Latitude CPx. During the install it asks for the pcmcia floppy. I assume this is for drivers and I obviously don't have it. I can get past this screen but then I don't have my cards available.

Intel combo Modem and Eth 10/100
SCSI

Where can I get this floppy? Can I download an image/make it from the install CDs? Get around it by editing files....WHAT?

Frustrating...

Thanks in advance.

Go check out the FTP mirrors at mandrakes webpage. They have the images on there. However I am a bit confused as to why its asking for that disk.

What is/are the URLs. I don't have a login if one is necessary. Complicated story but that's what I have to work with. Thx 4 the reply.

JG,

How many CDs did you get with your distro 3 4 or 5 ? BTW, I found this on another forum maybe it will help you

" to have a functionnal pcmcia you need to have acpi and deactivate eth0 at starup .... -> pb IRQ .... (i have a compaq pressario 2100) "

good luck!

My employer is a club member. I have 5 CDs. Do I have to go to interactive mode to disable eth0?
