I didn't address your second question, sorry about that.

Debian stable will be available and is quite good with older laptops.
Mandrake and FC1 would load as well, but may run reeeaaaallll
sllloooowwww.... Anyway, we can build you a boot diskette for any of the
distros.

I mean primarily because the CDROM runs through a PCMCIA card.  Any suggestions for a small distro that I would need to bring with me, if it will not be provided?  I do not need a GUI interface on this machine.  Links, Bitchx, and mutt are good enough for me.
