I've been running linux for several years now, and was just given an older laptop and I've decided to put linux on it.
The laptop is a NEC Versa (I think it is an ultralight, but not sure). Anyway, it has 20 megs of mem and a ~520meg drive. I've set the hd up with a 4 meg /boot and 64 meg swap. The rest is mounted a /. Anyway, when installing (from floppy) it asked about setting up the pcmcia stuff. I told it to do so and also had it setup getty for the serial parts (my modem). However, when I have the laptop up, it gives me an error of getty respawning to fast - will retry in 5 minutes. I'm assuming this is the getty trying to run with the pcmcia stuff. How can I remedy the situation? Also, I'd like to be able to sync my laptop with my home server. How can I do this? Thanks, chris
