I'd wait until it hits the ftp archive (.../debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/2.2.11*). The boot-floppies .deb is the package that provides the bits you need to build your own boot floppies; good if you are creating custom boot floppies or are working with the boot floppies team. I think you need to have potato installed to use them. The stuff uploaded to incoming gets processed into what you see in the ftp archive automatically. - Bruce

I'm downloading the boot-floppies, pcmcia-modules and pcmcia-cs packages now, but I would have thought that a new kernel-image package would have to come at the same time? ...RickM...

Well, the pcmcia stuff is separate from the kernel so you would need to build both (that is the impression I get from monitoring debian-boot). If by "load slink" you mean re-install slink, then it may be best to try the latest Potato boot floppies release. 2.2.11 was just released (last night) and fixes some (all?) of the modconf related problems. There was also an upload of new pcmcia packages a day or two ago (check incoming.debian.org if they are not in the ftp archive yet). I'd give bf-2.2.11 a try. later, Bruce

I couldn't find any work-around so I've just asked on the boot list. I may have to load slink, then just upgrade to potato (and build my own 2.2.14 kernel). That should work, shouldn't it? It looks like just the boot floppies are mismatched, which wouldn't affect a slink->potato upgrade, I figure. ...RickM...

Check the debian-boot mailing list archives for a manual work around; that failing, subscribe to debian-boot and ask. later, Bruce
Potato INSTALL on LAPTOP (NEC Versa 4050H): pcmcia modules unresolved
Trying to install potato from scratch on a NEC Versa 4050H (P90MHz), depmod reports unresolved symbols for all the pcmcia modules. I have zircom and 3com pcmcia NICs, but I can't get the modules for either to load because of this unresolved symbol problem. Without the NIC, I can't get past the base install. What can I do to fix this? ...RickM...
