Ok,  Sorry for the delay in replying but work got in the way. (dang it) I
got the pcmciadd.img from redhat 7.2 using dd and rawrite (both methods
seprately not at the same time *grin*) I got a diskette when I use 0.7.0
of the loader I type "linux updates" at the prompt.  It doesn't ask me for
the update disk, and when it does ask for the driver disk it's says that
this disk isn't a valid disk for this version of RH.  Do I also need the
pcmcia disk?  If so what parts of the boot.img disk need to be transferred
to the pcmcia.img?  Sorry to be a pain on this one, but a lot of low mem
laptops don't have internal cdroms.  (side note even though this box is
monochrome the loader info is reasonably readable.)
