232610 2004-04-30 01:48:00 thanks for the link, murray p, it really help me to understand a IBM laptop is a laptop.... (no, really, thanks for the link)..it just let me know i not the only one trying to install linux on IBM laptop.

but i am concern about the native-IBM only component and software (eg, power mangement, special keys), whether they would work or not under linux

but really thanks a lot guys pointing out directions for me...i was being a bit mean at the start..sorry

Take particular note of the IBM Predesktop area on the XP partition . Do Not Overwrite It .

Heres a Redhat ( . as . arizona . edu/~rad/ibmt40 . html" target="_blank">ursa . as . arizona . edu) one .
