Really? I have never heard that before. If it's true, it's still possible to do detection of PCI-PCMCIA bridges. > 3.

And if PCMCIA is detected during the installation, it is installed into the target system automatically, so it's useful even if you're not using it as installation media. > 4.

In general I think things should Just Work, if possible. d-i detects most other hardware and does a lot of things without asking (when run with high priority) so I don't see why PCMCIA should be treated any differently. -- Pelle -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
