But after a second look, I begin to understand a bit more: Most of the architectures in question even have help text for the PCMCIA option, but the option itself isn't asked. IOW: It's impossible to enable them. Is there eny reason for such options that are never visible nor enabled, or could they be removed? cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
