Since WCO Linux 4 is based on SuSE, and SuSE requires that you set everything up instead of just letting it work like OpenLinux did (as a function of the PCMCIA subsystem), you probably just need to set it up in Yast or in WebMin. On Wed, 18 Dec 2002 04:49:02 -0500 Michael Scottaline [EMAIL

The important thing about the Tualatin is that it requires a different mobo due to changes to the core. It's not supported by your average PIII board. It's also a smoking chip by all accounts. One of the reasons Intel killed it was that it could easily have cannibalized P4 sales had they ramped
