Hi, I've an Armada 7400 with a full disk of 800 Megs; I found a 40 Gig Dk230eb on ebay, and I'm trying to install linux on it, using floppy install because I don't have it's CDROM; I do have a great Wi-Fi Avaya 11b connection from the 2.4.18 linux on the 100% used disk.
I've discovered that the latest sarge images will do Wi-Fi just great (DHCP to a belkin 7230-4 router), but won't recognize the new 40 Gig. I've discovered that a stable floppy 2.2.20 image will partition the HD just fine, but won't do Wi-Fi. what to do? The installation manual is tantalizing with it's many ways and means of installing.. but unless I stumble upon a floppy image kernel that does EIDE and Wi-Fi, I won't succeed. And there seems to be a way to extract a Wi-Fi module perhaps, or an EIDE module perhaps, and custom kernel it.. but what are the exact commands for doing that? Section 10 says 'look for the modules that you need.' But what name are they? and will they be files on the disk? thanks, Ed
