I am trying to get Slackware 9.1 installed on an old P100 w/ 24mb or ram, NO cdrom. I have two pcmcia nics availible, a generic old 10mb that I had working in dos on this laptop. Looking at this cards driver package I don't see linux drivers but I do see scounix and it has packet driver stuff and Ndis stuff (I really don't know what all that means.) But the other card is a Linksys pcmpc100 that I would borrow from my other laptop for the install. So basically how do I do this
I have tried and when I try to install the "Network" it doesn't find it then says to ALT-F2 and run "modprob en io=0x360" because I may need to set up the driver manually. But modprob is not a recognized command at this point (btw, steps so far are: Bootdisk, Rootdisk 1 and 2, pcmcia disk, then I'm at Network disk) I have to get the network up and running so I can install via NFS?
Second problem is I haven't used linux exept for a brief stint with Redhat about 3 years ago.
If anyone could see to help me out that would be great, I really need to install it NFS and I don't want to invest any money into this junk laptop, it's just for fun.
PS: will most "win9x" programs run under xwindows? I only ask because I have a program that this laptop is eventually intended far (to program a fuel management computer in my car) and it's a 9x program.
Thanks and sorry for being so long winded!
