[ltp] Thinkpad 365DX Linux installation

[M. Leo Cooper]

I got another used 365XD tp (about 2 years old). The Linux install went fine,
using Mandrake 6.1. Even X, the sound card, and the modem work. For some
reason, Mandrake seems to do a better install on a tp than Red Hat.

A summary of my experiences with the 365XD is at
http://personal.riverusers.com/~thegrendel/laptop1.html (there's even the
XF86Config file).


BTW, for all of you with Winmodem problems on your tp, HSC Electronic Supply,
http://www.halted.com, is selling 28.8 PCMCIA modem cards for $27.50. This one
should work with Linux, as there's a driver for Win 3.1 for it.
