Laptops :: toshiba 430cdt

I have a toshiba 720cdt that i had with dsl 0.9 and 1.0 but it a a problem with pcmcia, in that its network card kept loosing the connection, i;d have to ifdown ifup to get it too work again. I also wanted to have it running a remote desktop with sound running on the CLIENT machine but had no joy. Any one had these issues?

PS, for those of you who cant boot from CD, use "smart boot manager". you can put it on floppy, or hda and it'll then boot the cd or any other bootable device (except usb)., google it, you'll find it, and its very small and fast too.

I just got everything working on the 430cdt. It is a old machine and I was surprised that I can run any gui effectively at all on it. I thought about getting more memory, but it didn't seem to be worth it. (keyboard is broken, cd tray doesn't stay put, battery is dead, don't know if pcmcia works...etc) right now it's just something I'm messing around with to see what will work on it.
