I ran into problems partitioning my hard disk, because it seems that Transmonde formats its hard drives as FAT32, which is not supported by FIPS, the only freeware non-destructive hard disk partitioner that I know of. This is not a huge problem, because as I'll show you below, you can get pcmcia-cs working once you have Linux installed on your computer. I wasn't able to get the RPM of pcmcia-cs to work, so I tried grabbing the original tarfile and compiling it myself, and that worked fine. Type make config . You can probably accept the defaults given for all the options if you don't know what you're doing.
Type make all, then make install .
Reboot your computer. I don't have any CardBus or Zoomed Video cards to test, so I can't tell you whether they work or not. In order to mount your FAT32 partition under Linux, you'll need to be running kernel 2.0.34 or higher. Both are supported by XFree's SVGA X server. These may not be the best settings, but they don't blow out my LCD screen, and they let me run X at 800x600 with 16-bit color.
