Derek:
Using the instructions on the site for P3015ct I was able to get SuSe
6.0/6.1/6.2/ installed via FTP/PCMCIA. Neither version of Mandrake
6.0/6.1 have been successful to date. Contacted the Mandrake developers
at 6.0 and was told it would be fixed shortly but also have not seen a
functional image on the Mandrake or Redhat/mirrors sites.
