Was k6 the right selection for a Duron? STFW > tells me the k6 != Duron != k7 (Athlon). Duron = stunted Athlon. k6 = earlier AMD CPUs that were pin-compatible with Pentia of the same era.

The installer program should have asked you at some point, having realised that your system doesn't have PCMCIA, whether you want to remove the PCMCIA stuff. So no, it doesn't matter, you can remove it if you want. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
