i am working on an old ibm 760e, and nothing i have tried will make the cdrom boot. so i decided to try the poorman's install using the tomsrtbt disk i made using dos under windows 95. the directions i am using to install are here poorman's install. i get all the way to the wget. when i do the wget and or the ping it tells me the host name look up fails. i had to set the eth card up, but because the ping didn't work, i can't tell whether the card is getting a wifi signal. the mac addresses for my network are where they need to be and ifconfig sees eth0 as the pcmcia card that i am using, a xircom card.
i put in the name server, and pinged it. i got back "56 bytes" then it hung and didn't do anything. after restarting i tried entering the name server and wget the script, and i get the same error, host name look up fails.
Any ideas??
