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

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.
