[ltp] network/pcmcia problems

[Robert Farney]

Bruce,

      We have installed version 5.2 on our 12 IBM 770X laptops and everthing
works just fine.  From the 327mb Ram to the 10gb HD.  If you want to call me
at my office that would be fine.  I may be able to point out some things to
try.  I am not a linux expert, but we have done the job.  I would be happy
then to tell you what we did....  334-255-2448...... if no one answers keep
calling back.... I am often away from my desk.......


                                                    Bob
