I justed installed redhat 5.2 on my laptop
it's a 486 dx4 75 mhz... with has no CD ROM.
I installed it ne removing the laptop drive and using a adapter in my desktop...
Every thing went well... Except i need pcmcia support
How do i do this ? Is there support form redhat for pcmcia compact flash cards ?
One last question what's the command to check disk space under linux ?

well, I don't see why you chose RH 5.2. I would suggest downloading a newer kernel and the newest pcmcia package. There is one out there. I installed linux on a laptop a while ago, so I can't give any details as to how to get it going. Just read the Readme and Install files and go from there. I don't think I needed to install the package before compile the kernel, but it's a little foggy in my mind.

Use "df" to check disk space.
