I'm attempting to install Linux Mandrake 7.0 on my old Compaq Armada 1560DM. During the first stages of install it asks me if I need to use PCMCIA devices during the install. It then goes on to say that if I'm installing Linux Mandrake on a laptop with a built-in CDROM drive (which I am) that I don't need to use PCMCIA devices during install. So, I click 'No' and continue with the install. However, it then spends several minutes searching for PCMCIA devices and then sends me back to the original screen asking me if I need to use PCMCIS devices during the install.

I have been searching all over the internet to see what I'm doing wrong with no success. If anyone knows what I need to do to proceed with the install, please help.

What happens when you click "yes".

I just turned off the whole system not more than 5 minutes ago...so I'll have to boot up to be sure...however, I believe that it told me to insert the Mandrake PCMCIA diskette (which I don't have)
