DSL rocks - pcmcia question

[Randy Rathbun]

Okay, just have to give you guys the lowdown on DSL. 

I got it installed yesterday. Booted into Linux, typed /sbin/dhcpcd (i
think it was in /sbin anyway) and there it was. Could not have been any
easier. Tis nice to download the latest kernel source in 75 seconds.

Also, I was out at Best Buy yesterday and they had a IBM ThinkPad i1450 for
cheap, so I bought it as I need a laptop to drag outside and hook up to the
CCD camera on my telescope. I of course installed Linux on it. My problem
is the machine hangs when it gets to the PCMCIA detection. It just sits
there. So, when I boot I just make sure I hit "I" and skip over that step.
But this brings me to a question - is it doing this because there is
nothing in the pcm slot, or is it doing this because RH6.1 does not like
the ThinkPad's pcm adapter? Since this is the first laptop I have ever
used, I am not knowledgeable in these things.
