About the time PCMCIA cards .........
Why don't you install the OS to the internal hard drive?

Sorry, didnt realise that the thread would appear that way, though in retrospect it does make sense.
The hard drive that came with the laptop was full of bad sectors. It might actually be easier to get a new HDD and use that, like you said CF and SD cards (and their adapters) may cause issues.
So basically, most PCMCIA USB ports from ~2005 wont be functional under linux currently, without severe tinkering ?
If thats the case would it be easier to use laptop dock to increase the number of usable USB ports ?
How would one go about configuring Laptop docks under linux ? Is there any website where I can check compatibility or look up guides or anything ? Doing a general web search didnt really help. The dock that im interested for this model is as follows :

Again, thanks for your time and efforts in helping me out.
