Yes, it is a problem until the PCMCIA and Cardbus system is available in a ROM-compatible subsystem. However this should be able to be worked around in initrd possibly. I can't say that I have a high priority with narrowing it down to PCMCIA support as I'm not specifically looking into laptops. Even with this concern, all you would need is an on-board NIC to use as eth0 to work-around.
rarely available on old laptops :-(
I am party of course, because my own gateway is running on a PCMCIA-only single floppy laptop and of course I need the dual floppy boot. I like laptops, noise- and energywise. My concern is to provide a method which is hardware independent which IMHO PXE is not.
cheers Erich
