Mitchell-
I don't know about your specific installation, but are you using the pcmcia
supported installation disk? in 6.2 (its been awhile since I tested the 7.0
installation) there was a different disk that was used if you needed pcmcia
support. One you have pcmcia kspport, I belive there is a place in one of the
installation options (expert?) that allows you to enter driver names for
hardware needed during installation.. Check the installation docs. Lastly,
or perhaps firstly, is the cd supported under linux at all? I am ignorant of
the status of these devices. If not I would say you are toast as far as
installing from it.
