I installed  oan old Debian (1.2 ?) via floppies  on my TP 360c- then I
could complete and upgrade my installation via NFS, and even compile the
PCMCIA module which now works without problems.

I did it some months ago, so if you're interested in a Debian installation,
mail me and I'll try to remember exactly all my moves.
