Below is an example of the type of lilo.conf that can be generated. The

This is not strictly a Debian question but it does relate to a
computer running Debian 2.3.
The computer is a Toshiba 1715XCDS laptop. I have been using the
2.4.0 testing and prerelease kernels on it and have been very pleased
with the support for PCMCIA built into the 2.4.x series kernels.
