Umm, I have compiled mine from sources so I wouldn't know for sure,
but if I were to try binaries I would go for a start with the usual
one since there are some differences between Tibooks and iBooks.

Did not try this one (yet!), but I believe that both the YDL and benh
kernels come with compiled in support for it, and then see
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/PCMCIA-HOWTO.html (I also believe that you
can skip the software installation, as the software is installed by
default in YDL, but again take this with a grain of salt as I have not
checked the thing myself).

512Mb should be quite enough: I have the same amount and my machine
almost never swaps, so you should be fine.

Oh, you using KDE?  Then you might have encountered a bug which has
been signalled quite some time ago and for which there exists an
update.  Before trying anything else, take a look at
http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/resources/errata/YDU-20020726-1.txt and
update Qt accordingly.

I am not using KDE myself so again I wouldn't be sure, but the
symptoms do match the reported ones.

It's more likely to be Qt actually.

Sorry for not being able to be more specific.
