Robert,
I just finished installing Mandrake 7.2 on a Dell CPi A366XT laptop.. Its a
couple of years old, but the install went pretty well. I had minor X
configuration problems because I wanted to use the external display.. But,
PCMCIA works well. It found my Xircom modem/ethernet card with no problems
and the sound works well too..
I found a site that really gave me a lot of good info.. Its called Linux on
Laptops.. The URL is: http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/
I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to use Linux on their Laptop..
