"Hmmm..." again; on my 315CDT with 2GB drive and 32MB ram, I first
installed mdk8.1 and it took FOREVER but then I just did the 'upgrade' to
8.2 and everything went fine. Yes, I did boot from the cdrom (did you
check your boot order in the bios?) and the only thing I had to configure
'post install' was the sound card. Everything so far has been great,
except for some reason pcmcia services won't start at boot no matter how
many times I tell it to and I could definitly use more ram and a bigger
hdd.
