SubjectRe: 2.3 wish: integrate pcmcia into mainstream kernel
Date
From
> But, as Linus says, how many laptops come with only 8MB these days?

Americans (and Canadians) really don't get it do they

If you pop over to mexico you'll find a lot of 8Mb computers. Or much of
eastern europe or india, or .. etc

A lot of students in these parts of the world have low end machines.

Finally people want to install Linux on *second hand* machines. Hell if we
wanted to support just new stuff we could drop PCMCIA (cardbus has replaced
it), drop modems (you've all got cablemodem right), and anything lower
than a PII processor
