Should work for a pcmcia scsi > adapter as well. i did not find pcmcia-modules to be necessary in my case (may be i was lucky as far as the hardware i have). i ftp-ed the pcmcia-cs package to a dos floppy and copied it to a fresh install of debian 1.3.x and did a 'dpkg -i'. this allowed me to use dselect w/ ftp. if people are interested in a few more details, i have something at: http://www.htp.org/~sen/debian/hu2/install.html of course, it's only for one particular laptop (dec hinote ultra2)...YMMV -sen -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
