I'm using DSL on my laptop, I love how quickly this loads on the thing. It's a 600 mhz Compaq laptop. I have a compaq PCMCIA networking card on it and I'm wondering if there is any way to get it to work on my laptop. And what are the chances of it working if I install DSL on the machine's hard drive?

well to awnser your second question sorta,

if the machine has a floppy drive execelent, but from what ive seen "i am kinda slow too" if not u might be in the same boat as me.

to copy the cd image "not install dsl" u can boot like this

knoppix tohd=/dev/hda1

where in hda1, a is the physical drive as in a b c d ect ect and 1 is the partion number.

from there in u dont need to use the cd to boot, its now on ur drive.

u still need the boot floppy for that way though, which is loacted on the cd in the knoppix folder called boot.img u can use winimage or rawrite to make the floppy if u use windows or check the boards for a linux equiv.
