It would be nice if there was a pcmcia-kernel-2.0.33-8 as well,
which provides kernel-image-2.0.33, to avoid cases like now when
you can't download a matching pair.
Also, if I were to recompile my kernel to add sound support would
I also need to recompile the PCMCIA modules? Is there a doc anywhere
which shows step-by-step how to do this?

I think it was when "Next" referred to installing modules that
"Configure PCMCIA" was listed as alternate. I could be wrong.
All I know is the first time I installed I didn't go through
the 5 or so screens following. The first screen gave a choice
of Intel or *mumble* PCMCIA slots.
Thanks for your help
