I don't think the install CD supports PCMCIA at all. If you have a Microsoft partition on the machine, you might be able to put the base system on it, then load it from there, and finally bring up the system with PCMCIA support and load the rest directly from CD. Not a job I'd look forward to. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
