If you're using 3.0r1 you have the choice of installing a 2.2 kernel (the default installation) or a 2.4 kernel (type "bf24" at the "boot:" prompt). Toward the end of the installation you'll be asked if you want to remove the PCMCIA packages. Be sure you answer "no" to that. Kevin
Re: What all CD's do I need?
Does anybody know if the pcmcia support is on CD1 or CD2? Need to know as I will have to beg to download another big file if it is as my phone modem is a pcmcia card!

It should have everything you need to have a functioning linux system, get on the internet and retrieve any missing pieces via apt. I have not looked in a while, the only possible issue may be missing pcmcia (which is obviously a problem). If pcmcia is missing you need cd 2. You should not need any of the other cds.
