[ltp] Linux on an i1460

[José Antonio Milke G.]

Thanks for replying Anand. I will first try to install in text mode under Red Hat;
and if not, I may gladly accept your offering (in case I don't find the disk
images) :-).
My second step will then be X installation. When I get there and try it out, I may
cry again for help :-).
