[Gllug] help! :) ibm lappy install problem

[James]

Thanks Doug,Hi all.
Nope still not working , i think all the controlers must be different..
Was thinking of taking out the drive and using a gender blender plugging it
onto my desk top.
What would be the best distro to put on it ? and would i just copy a iso
image to a dir on the root partition?
could i even compile it on my desktop (have a very fast duel xeon setup).
There doesnt seem to be a n answer to my problem  on linux on laptops.

Just Debian, and the PCMCIA worked first time, so I doubt it's got the
same components your laptop has.

Some of the links for the 240 from here had some promising information
on PCMCIA config, but I suspect you've checked these already:
