Our pcmcia support is still very incomplete, so I'm glad to hear it worked at all. The problem with pcmcia not being installed is a known bug, #214492, though it may not include the detail below: > The base system that gets installed contains the pcmcia-cs package and > the kernel-image-2.4.22-1-386 package (obviously), but NOT the > pcmcia-modules-2.4.22-1-386 package. I plan to reogranise the pcmcia support so it fits in better with the rest of the installer, but I may not have a chance to get around to doing this for a while. -- see shy jo
