I am running DSL 1.4 on an old Acernote 355, 586/100mhz, 16mb ram, 541mb hdd with a 40mb swap partition.. any larger and X didnt have space to run (I intend to upgrade as soon as I get a larger hdd). I recently aquired an old pcmcia card, the type with no lump, to try get my little beast on the net. However whenever I boot with this PCMCIA card the system reboots when cardmgr runs and if i plug in after the system is booted up, it also reboots.
What solutions are there? I read that some older cards aren't supported in the 2.4 kernal, and I dont particuarly want to have to recompile the kernel unless I have a hand to hold whilst doing so, as I am still quite a n00b.I would suggest to try DSL 2.0 as it has a ramdisk/swapdisk improvement. Also try Joe's window manager as it uses much less resources. Both of these should make a big difference.

You have completely missed the point of my question. The question was not regarding ram/swap, rather how to get my PCMCIA card to work.*blink*
Does nobody who has been on here in the last 20 days have any clue?Are you trolling? Robert's answer gave you a clue as to why your card may not be working.Next Page...
