[Rule-list] Ok,,, but what if you don't have a cdrom

[James]

Martin,
   The problem is that when you boot from the pcmcia disk it then asks for a driver disk... unfortunately the driver.img file doesn't satisfy  the first disk that its a driver disk....  Personally I'd just hang the disk off of the ide cable on another box, load linux, mod lilo.conf and go from there.  However in the spirit of the project...... this won't always be an option. I think what I need to do is investigate the intrid.img files I talked about before and see IF I can create a pcmcia.img file that can then boot to the cdrom.... lot's of swiching but that makes it fun.
