[SLUG] Help!-Linux on libretto

["chris ord" <ord_chris@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello to the list, i've just relocated from the Uk and decided to stick 
debian on my toshiba libretto. Anyway the day I get hold of a debian CD 
windo$e just flatlines the whole system-Big Style (Cue Omen music). As all 
of the peripherals are through the PC card slot I can't get hold of an 
installer or root rescue floppy (no problem with that, set in bios) that has 
the drivers installed for the CD drive. Unfortunately whilst there is a bios 
update that allows users to boot off CDRom it's for windows only not DOS, I 
thought of going through serial but my powerbook doesn't have serial on it 
even if I could work out how to PPP to the mac cdrom.
I'm a bit stuck without any resources over here and wondered if anyone had 
any ideas or a custom adapter to slot the IDE drive into an existing system 
and just reformat the whole drive and install/rebuild with necessary 
services.
I've tried everything I could think of so far but am now stuck.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Chris
