Greetings, I'm new to the list. I'd appreciate any pointers to list
archives, FAQ, etc. I've been exploring the links on Kenneth Harker's
Linux on Laptops page at utexas.edu.
I just acquired a Thinkpad 240. The 6.4G HD has Win98 on a 2G partition.
The other 4+ partition is totally empty AFAICT. I plan to install SuSE 6.3
on it. I will probably break that second partition up into a smallish
/boot at hda2, swap at hda3, and the rest as / at hda4.
It doesn't have a cdrom. I plan to nfs mount the cd in this box to do the
install. I've never done an nfs install of SuSE, but I don't think that
will be a problem assuming I can put the Thinkpad on the LAN.
So my first task will be to make networking happen. I have an IBM Etherjet
card on the way. It was shipped separately and hasn't got here yet. If
anyone has experience good or bad with this card in a Thinkpad, especially
a 240, I'd appreciate whatever wisdom you can share.
