No, thanks a lot. My ThinkPad is an R51. I picked up the correct update
archive from the IBM homepage, managed to extract the disk image from it
(thanks to dosemu) and was even able to boot it (thanks to memdisk).
Just when I tried to perform the update nothing happened apart from the
program telling me to stand by and not to touch anything.

        Cheers,
