Installing Debian

[Tommy Moore]

Hi, how's it going? Um, when I made the debian install disks a few weeks ago I was told that there were some module dependancies that were messed up and the pcmcia modules needed to be recompiled for everything to work.
Um, Matt fixed the drivers.tgz file, but the drivers-udma66.tgz file was never fixed, neither were the floppy images.
Hey Matt, can you tell me how you fixed the drivers.tgz file so that the others on the speakup site can be repaired.
hehe.
