2.6 Need a PCMCIA Support Diskette?

[Intel Systems: This section is specific to Intel-based computers only. If you are using an Alpha or SPARC computer, please skip ahead to 2.8.]

Here's a checklist that you can use to see if you'll need to create a PCMCIA support diskette:

• Installing From a PCMCIA-Connected CD-ROM -- If you'll be installing Red Hat Linux from a CD-ROM, and your CD-ROM drive is attached to your computer through a PCMCIA card, you'll need a support diskette.

• Installing using a PCMCIA Network Card -- If you will be using a PCMCIA network adapter during the installation, you'll need a support diskette.

If you have determined you will need a support diskette, you will have to make one. The PCMCIA support diskette image file is pcmcia.img, and is located in the images directory on your
Red Hat Linux/Intel CD. Please turn to Appendix B and follow the instructions there. Then, return here, and read on.
