I've got the system booting from the hd - thanks for the help.
I can also start up the PCMCIA ethernet card and
if I set ifconfig eth0 then I can ping my router and the
other machines in my home. My router serves DHCP
addresses to the machines in my house. How do I
set up BasicLinux to get a DHCP address from my
router?

use fdisk (in BL3) to create a Linux partition.
You probably also should create a swap partition.
If you tell us how much RAM you have, we will be
able to tell you whether you need a swap partition
and how big it should be. Also, tell us if you do
not have unallocated HD space -- we can tell you
how to get some.
Once you have a Linux partition, use mke2fs to
format the partition. Then mount the parition
on /hd. For example, if your Linux partition
is /dev/hda2
--------------------
mke2fs /dev/hda2
mount /dev/hda2 /hd
--------------------
Then execute: install-to-hd

build into you laptop? If it is PCMCIA, is the card
cardbus?

is currently configured, we will be able to provide
more specific advice.
