This would be a good place to start:

You might have to create a supplimental disk also -- so the PCMCIA drivers
are included during the install process. Booting directly from the cd is
probably the best option if your laptop supports it (check the BIOS to see
if it's enabled), then you don't have to worry about floppies.
