I am trying to install APM on my Dell Insprion 8200 laptop.  I have =
Debian 3.0 installed.  I found what I think is the correct APM package =
for my machine on Debians web page. I downloaded =
apmd_3.0.2-1.19_i386.deb on to my windows desktop computer.  I was going =
to put this on a floppy altough I was not sure if I need to use =
something like rawrite to format a floppy in Windows XP that Linux could =
read? I have a floppy drive that I can put in if I take out my cd =
burner, or I have a USB floppy I would prefer to use.
How can I tell if Debian sees the floppy drive or what is necessary to =
do to configure the floppy drive internal or usb?
After that what is necessary to get APM working?

 Any input/ help would be greatly appreciated.

 Jim
