The problem is that two packages both have the same (by name, at least) file. I don't know why you would need a pcmcia-modules package when I've never used one on the laptop at work. Admittedly I normally use a custom kernel, but I keep a prepackaged one around just in case I want it sometime for some reason. -D -- "...the word HACK is used as a verb to indicate a massive amount of nerd-like effort." -Harley Hahn, A Student's Guide to Unix
