Nope, nothing at all, just rebooted the microclient at the end of
Slack setup, leaving the USB in place.

Going back to your suggestion

I don't even have "RDC PATA support" or pata_RDC in that menu on my
big pc, Slackware 13, so I guess I won't see in the CF installation
either. I've tried with the search function too.

In the meantime, I've tried Slax. It boots from a vfat USB, hangs
from an ext4 USB.

Now I'm working with Slax, and I think I'll stick with it. I don't
want to deal with a kernel tampered by somebody like me!

New problem: No trace of eth0 with Slax, so now I'm investigating
this new pain in the neck.

Thanks for your help so far.

By the way, I know that eth0 works, because I was able to PXE-boot
and network-install Slackware without a fuss earlier on, so it must
be some glitch with Slax.
