So, I'll have to build custom boot disks with my own kernel, and burn Woody CDs. Downloading and compiling at work at the mo, but is there a *better* way???
Probably ;)
What happened with the 2.2 floppies? (If you tried them...) It's often worth trying one of the hybrid floppies.
Try rescue/root from: http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/disks-i386/current/images-...
If that doesn't work, try safe rescue with the root from above, the idepci images, and the compact images.
I presume if it's a P133 laptop it's fairly old, so it *should* be supported. If you're able to boot off any of the floppies, you can then point it at the cds for the rest of the install...
Good luck!
Andrew.
