Been trying to install Gentoo on a notebook (Sharp Actius 250) lately |
| 5 |
and ran into some problems. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
The regular PCMCIA CDRom is not supported by Linux, at least according |
| 8 |
to www.linux-notebook.org ; so far my own attempts to find a suitable |
| 9 |
module only confirm the problem. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Booting with it is just fine, though; so I figured getting the network |
| 12 |
to run might be another way to install Gentoo. Unfortunately, no driver |
| 13 |
for a Realtek network card seems to be included (ie, rtl8139). Are there |
| 14 |
any alternatives I could give a try? |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
In addition, would it make sense to include very basic network support |
| 17 |
within the rescue image so that an install-by-ftp becomes an option? |
| 18 |

Thanks a lot in advance, |
