I tried Debian. Using Lowmem and the regular install it was able to find the pcmcia card but failed to install. I tried the lowmem Debian. I was able to partition the disks but I wasn't able to successfully access the pcmcia card. I tried Slacware 11 and 8. No luck with loading pcmcia. Any ideas on getting the pcmcia ethernet card that uses a yenta cardbus driver. I saw a few threads similar to this. However, they seemed to have more ram. It seems that there is a Linux distro adapted for Toshiba (old) Laptops. I've seen it mentioned but haven't found it. Thank you.
