Question regarding bug fixes.

Little problem with /etc/init.d/pcmcia

Hi, I just noticed that the executable "cardmgr" used by /etc/init.d/pcmcia is supposed to be at /sbin, however that's only true if /usr is a symlink to /, which is not always true, specially if crosshurd is used with the default options... So the safest would be to globally replace /sbin/cardmgr
