Let's see, it has only one pcmcia socket and I made the network installation with two pcmcia cards: one pcmcia cdrom reader (model Sony PCGA-CD51) and an orinoco pcmcia card, so I began the installation without knowing what to expect. Here's the description of the process: - D-I started in "low memory mode", due to the system's 64MB of RAM. - It didn't detect the pcmcia cdrom, while it was working and detected as "hde" by the kernel. So I chosed "none" in the cdrom module list and then "/dev/hde" and evrything went fine. - No network, off course. However, D-I detected the firewire port and tried to configure it, so I can say the kernel recognized the firewire port just fine. - In order to have network access, I had to switch to tty2, and umount the cdrom, take off the cd-rom, put on the nic and configure the nic manually. This process back and forth as needed (when I needed network connection or when D-I complained about the cd-rom). - After debootstrap, everything went fine. All in all, a nice installation. I thought I was going to have some problems, because of the lack of pcmcia sockets, but everything went fine. Thanks to the D-I team.
