Rep:
Thanks for the advice so far, but I'm still having some troubles...
my /etc/modules contains only "ide-cd" and "ide-detect"... this isn't where the problem is coming from.
I went into /etc/default and nano'd pcmcia so it doesn't start... that's a help. The 'fat' is still there, though...
I'm in the process of building a nice-n-trim kernel for this box now, but that's introduced its own set of problems... I used 'aptitude' to pull down 2.4.23 kernel sources and kernel-package. 'make menuconfig' 'd the deal to get a nice trim kernel, used make-kpgk buildpackage and installed it, but lilo.conf is complaining about /proc/partitions not matching /dev directory structure...
This is for another thread, I know, but just so you folks don't think I'm sitting with my thumbs up my you-know-how waiting for an easy answer!
I'm sure it will all come out fine in the end, just a little frustratin'!
