Help Please,
I'm trying to install SuSE 6.4 on an IBM Thinkpad 755CD.
The Thinkpad has 40Mb Ram and 5.2 Gb Hdd. It also has a removable CD ROM/ FDD combination - I can either have the FDD or CD ROM drive in the bay but not both! It also has a D-Link PCMCIA Ethernet card installed (DE-660CT) which works under Windows '95 but not under Linux. I can get an install (after a fashion) by running setup from the CD ROM but am then unable to access the CD ROM drive.
Any ideas any one?
I had a similar problem with my ThinkPad 240 so under Windows I ftp'd the entire CD from my workstation to the Windows partition. I then booted the laptop into Dos mode and ran the batch file that was on the CD. There are more details at: http://www.esperance-linux.co.uk/misc/thinkpad240.html also worth looking at if you haven't already: http://physics.open.ac.uk/linux-laptop/ -- Frank *-------*-----*-----*-----*-----*-----*-----*-----*-----*-------* | Boroughbridge | Tel: 01423 323019 | PGP keyID: 0xC0B341A3 | *-------*-----*-----*-----*-----*-----*-----*-----*-----*-------* http://www.esperance-linux.co.uk/
