[ltp] can't get debian installed, pcmcia network not found

[Harry Mangalam]

What installation distro/process are you using?

I just used the 3 Debian install floppies to load Debian on an OLD Toshiba 
lappie.  Slow, but steady prgress in loading.

If you have the CD/DVD drive, MEPIS (Debian-based) loaded up just fine on my old 
770X, just before it finally died.
