#while we are still on Debian, let me ask something here. I have a
#toshiba
#T4700CS which I want to convert from DOS to Debian. I need base only.
#the
#notebook doesnot have a NIC, but has serial/kermit. I've tranfered
#base2_2.tgz to it through kermit. I wonder if I can use this base2_2.tgz
#
#for a base install or I have to get all 10 base images like I did with
#Debian 1.3 :-)

#the
##card in netconf, and add an alias line to conf.modules).
