As long as you stick with 2.2 kernel, pcmcia-cs package automatically
load modules it IF it knows pc card.  If you upgrade to 2.4, you need to
enable several mosules to get card service activated. (/etc/modules
yenta_socket,...)

Where else:

http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/install

FOR PCMCIA INSTALL, USE STANDARD DISK SET. (idepci is nice for desktop)
