Is this likely to be the typical 2 serial ports??? If so seems like it

When doing 'Configure Device Driver Modules' under 'misc' I find
parport - (No description available)
parport_pc - PC-style hardware
Seems likely the later would be the typical parallel port at x'0378' irq 7.
If so it would not be so hard to say so seems to me.
But what is 'parport'

The Linksys works perfectly. Uses the tulip driver. And you can get these

I am experimenting with installs of frozen potato and this is a puzzle (to
me):
Using a CD ISO image I downloaded of potato about a month ago I do a CD Boot
to install the base system, then I select http for the access method. Doing
so I end up with Kernel version 2.2.14.
Using a new ISO image
In the install module section there are two choices which both sound like
they could be the pc standard com1 and com2 ports:

serial (No description available)

Questions arising during xf86config:
Mouse--I have a 3 button PS/2 mouse so I select 4 PS/2 Mouse. Since it
has 3 buttons I choose not to emulate 3 buttons. So good so far, but now it
asks for the full device name. I have no idea. It suggests /dev/tty00
which seems unlikely. Just pressing
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
I am stuck at that point. Any ideas???

Anyone successfully using frozen potato with the Intel 810e on board video
chipset?
Does potato detect it and do the install with ease or will I have to dig out
needed modules myself from xfree86.org etc.
The 810e looks like a nice way to go for a low cost system...but if it
doesn't work with
10Base-T RJ45 PCI Network Cards some in an incredible range of prices from
10 bucks up. Is it possible that the only significant difference is the
brand name?

I burned them with Adeptec EZ CD creator. You have to rename them to *.iso
or it won't do it.

I am doing a CD boot install of potato and finding a few problems.
First as to what version this is, about all I can tell you is that it says:
kernel-image 2.2.14_2.2.14-2 and a little later it says debian rescue floppy
ver 2.2.9 2000-03-28. I downloaded the entire CD image of disc 1
I picked up CD 1 via ftp from:
ftp://gusp.infogroup.it/pub/debian/debian-cd/
and burned it as an iso image. Worked fine, I booted directly from it and
am in the process of installing potato for the first time.

When selecting the device driver module for lp (line printer) in potato I
get this error:
/lib/modules/2.2.14/misc/lp.o: init_module: Device or resource busy

Installation
I am installing potato and am in the X configuration section where I am
asked to specify a mouse protocol type.
Of the choices these 2 make sense:
4 PS/2 Mouse
9 Microsoft IntelliMouse
Actually it is both, but that's not a valid choice. By choosing 9 will I be
selecting a serial port
I am at this point: Configure Device Driver Modules. The second item in
the menu is
cdrom Device drivers for CD-ROM drives.
My CD -ROM drive is marked 'Acer', but this does not appear in the choices.
The only choice which seems possible is:
cdrom - Common routines for CD-ROM drivers.
I am at this point: Configure Device Driver Modules. The first item in
the menu is

Almost all modern CD-ROM drives are either IDE or SCSI, so you probably
don't need special drivers. You will need to specify a device later:
IDE channel 1 slave = /dev/hdb
IDE channel 2 master = /dev/hdc
IDE channel 2 slave = /dev/hdd
SCSI CD-ROM (1st)= /dec/scd0
