Hi Ricardo,

What is your pc110 setup? Do you have the floppy, expansion base,
cdrom?

Also do you have access to another notebook with PCMCIA ports?

I have set up my pc110 with a slackware based system. I used a 48M
CFLASH card from Sandisk. To do it I had to use a different computer
since I did not buy the floppy or CDROM or expansion base.

I can get you the kernel that I am using but without the root partition
on the CFLASH card you will not be able to boot. For the most part I
use loadlin to load the kernel instead of LILO since it saves a lot of
trouble with the partition table.

The way I got the CFLASH card loaded was to use a CFLASH to PCMCIA
extension card and mounted the card on a notebook. I then ran the
Slackware setup program and told it to install the base package on the
mounted PCMCIA drive.

Hope that helps.
