Install from PCMCIA disk help needed

nebdy · 08-14-2005, 03:46 PM

Hi

I have Slackware 10 CD's on a 5Gb PCMCIA drive and want to install on an old laptop without a CD. Now I can boot using the install boot floppies and I run th PCMCI prog before running setup.

Now my problem, I cant find the PCMCIA drive? So i cant point to it as the source in setup!!

Do I need to mount the drive? I cant see the drive in cfdisk

Any help out there?

Yeap, it needs to be mounted, take a look at the output of dmesg to see what dev is assigned to it.
