I made a tesinstall from the 2.2.1 bootdisks on a laptop, no CD (had no image handy) but by installing the drivers and getting base by NFS. Apart from the already mentioned hickups that could be worked around by a little hackery on the second terminal, I observed the following things: - mounting takes a *long* time. This is *not* due to failing DNS reverse lookups on the server side but because it is not passed the nolock option and waits for a timeout of the local portmap. After ~3minutes the mount succeeds. Solution: Hack the "nolock" option into NFS mounts (didn't try to look at the code) - the pcmcia cardmgr is not the one from the pcmcia-cs package. This is fine as long as the PCMCIA slot is in FPIC mode. It miserably fails for Cardbus. I had to put in my old harddisk, boot windows, switch to FPIC, change the harddisk again and continue with the network. For my card this works fine, I did however encounter a cheap network card recently that does not work but in Cardbus mode. Solution??? Having an account on master, I could just check in a few changes with CVS. Is there any policy on how and when to commit changes?
