Which I think is why scandisk tells me I have a boot sector glitch - it probably doesn't like partitions higher than the bios limit.

(yes I know of pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net, I was >wondering if someone knew where the ready made RPM's were as I'm not too >crash-hot compiling this sorta stuff myself). It's a doddle - make sure it's installed - there should be an RPM in the distribution. Then look for a file (I think) /etc/pcmcia.conf (it's buried in the readme) and it will have the single line pcmcia=off which you change to pcmcia=on and then add another line pcic=I82536 (i hope that's the right number - note capital I) and reboot (or just start pcmcia) and you're off. Every network card and modem I've put in has been recognised no probs, anything else, you're on your own! _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
