I'm new to this list. I got here trying to find a use to 2 Zenith Z-lite sub-notebook computers, I always been intrigued by sub-notebooks and other unusual form factors. That lead me to BasicLinux.
I installed BasicLinux on one of them (486 25mhz /12mb RAM) and have it working pretty well with icewm. However, I would like to get it functioning on my wireless LAN using a PCMCIA card. I can't find any of the wireless cards supported by the Slackware 3.5 pcmcia package. I've tried to compile the latest version of the linux pcmcia package, but BasicLinux seems to require several modifications and additions to get it to compile, even though it is supposed to work with the 2.0.x linux kernel (One example is the the Configure script will not work with the included version of echo). After reading in this list about the slackware 8.1 for old computers, I'm wondering if that would be a better alternative. How much of a performance hit will there be? Would it be reasonable to run X on this hardware? Or should I just try to get the pcmcia package to compile by tracking down the missing bits of Slackware 3.5 and the missing headers. I would appreciate any input. -- Rob Steinmetz To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
