Sorry for being so insistent but I really need help.

I'm now "forgetting" my long experience with linux to try to deal with this=
=20
problem "as a child", that is giving nothing for granted and testing!
So, after having read the many pieces of doc around the net, I started from=
=20
scratch and began to issue the very basic commands related to pccards by=20
hand.
