[RULE] Slinky + pcmcia network card

[Paul Abel]

The reason the modules were not loading was because I wasn't using the
modules from the PCMCIA disk!  Anyway, all is working now, it's fully
installed with no errors, just a couple of tweeks to get the PCMCIA network
card initialised on boot.  Report sent to the Rule Testing Farm.

Thanks for all the input.

Paul

Can you provide the output you saw?

If you try again, try starting the script like so:

/scripts/pcmcia.sh > pcmcia.out 2>&1

If you then mount a floppy, you can copy the output file to the floppy, 
which would allow you to post the errors without having to type them in.

A word of warning...
You mention 8M of RAM, doing an nfs install with that little ram might be 
difficult. Everything should work, but you may find that the biggest, 
(and most important) packages don't install properly. Check the install 
log before rebooting, as you may need to re-install a package or two.
